I'm not applying this patch.

I see how it can be useful for those who use 

    (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'time-stamp)

but #+Time-stamp is *not* an Org option... so unless we find 
a way to use it without confusing the user, I won't apply it.

If you have another proposal, please provide a commit message
with your patch!

Thanks,

OK, so what about adding it as an Org option?

Even if, by default, it must be capitalized as in the example, I can make it
become case-insensitive, so that `#+time-stamp', `#+Time-stamp' and
`#+TIME-STAMP' all are accepted.

Then, I can provide a patch with `time-stamp' function added to
`before-save-hook' in Org mode.

I'll do.

Best regards,
  Seb

I would lobby against this being the default template, as these time
stamps really mess up the ability to merge org files from multiple
branches without conflicts.

A ------- B ------- D
\                     /
 \--------C--------/

At the merge, D would have a conflict to resolve by hand.

I used timestamps and the save hook mentioned above for a while and
ended up needing to do unnecessary (and in the context of a rev
control like GIT - non-useful) manual conflict resolution, so have
since removed them from every file I had previously added them to.

Just my $0.02.

Brian

I agree adding Time-stamp as a keyword could lead to such problems.  
So unless there are new arguments for such an inclusion, I'm closing
this right now.  

Sébastien, if you have your own hack for this, please share it on Worg!

Best,
