In early January I posted what I thought was a bug report with org-capture.
I found that capturing to a date-tree didn't always work and in one file the
capture was written to the wrong place.
Well, the problem was with the data! One of my headings began with 2011.
The tree looked something like this (edited)
* 2010
** 2010-12 December
*** 2010-12-05 Sunday
**** A heading
**** 2011 Actions <---------- this caused the problem
**** Another heading
...
*** 2010-12-06 Monday
...
...
In 2011 when I captured into this file's date-tree,
org-capture found the headline 2011 Actions which matched the algorithm
and the captured item appeared at the end of the headings at that level.
My suggestion to eliminate the problem is to modify the org-capture algorithm
so years have to match beginning of line + one asterisk + one space + the year
Similarly, months could match beginning of line + two asterisks + one space +
the year + hyphen + month number + space + Monthname. But the chance of this
format heading appearing outside a date-tree would be very low.

org-datetree currently checks if a buffer has an entry with a DATE_TREE
property (any value), and if it finds one, the date tree will become a
subtree under that entry.
This change would break that feature.

Attached is a patch that fixes this, by using the
org-datetree-base-level variable. More details in the commit message.
@Bastien,
I didn't get the time to configure and use git-send-email. I am
sending a patch obtained using git-format-patch. So, you will have to
use git-am to apply this. (of course, if this seems good enough :))

Using the value of `org-datetree-base-level' in the regex instead of
checking for at least one star, or hard coding the number of stars (as
suggested by Charles Cave).
Also, only the regex for finding the year subtree needs to be changed,
since it is assumed that all the children of this subtree are
"generated" and there are no bad headings, like in Charles' example.

Hi,
Resending the patch, since it seems like patchwork hasn't grabbed it.

I applied a more general solution for years, months and days datetrees.
Thanks for your patch anyway, it helped me better understand the issue!
