> Could you provide a patch with git format-patch?

Glad to contribute. I attached two patches, the first for the lisp fix, and the second for org.texi. The code is confirmed to work, and the info correctly compiles. More is described later.

Now, release notes (http://orgmode.org/Changes.html) fix proposal. I here write "the full version". (Sorry. I know concise is better.)

1. Version 8.1, "Important bugfixes" section

The following sentence should be moved to "Incompatible changes" section:
"The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date"

Furthermore, the following should be added: "N.B. This is reverted in Version 8.3."

2. Please add this to the next version "Incompatible changes" section:
"`org-replace-disputed-keys' has been ignored when reading date since version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again."

Perhaps to "New features" can be added: "Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable `org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map'. (In fact, it was introduced in version 8.0, but it was not announced.)"


Some comments on my org.texi patch. I renamed the section "Creating timestamps" to "Timestamp commands," since not all commands don't create. (Links are updated.) I rewrote some explanations. I think it's better, but I'm not sure if my tone of voice (e.g. "Date/time prompt is ``smart enough''") is acceptable. Some whitespace cleanup accompanies, so you may want to use "git show -b".

I added the description of key "!" in timestamp creation. But I don't know what "diary" in Emacs is, so you may want to improve it.

PS I may send a patch to fix hardcoded C-x (following C-c), by introducing "org-mode-ctrl-x-map" and so on. I rebind C-x, and some are screwed up by hardcoding. ;-)
