I really like to use `pre-scheduled' as the value of
`org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled'. Quoting the
manual, "this can be used in a workflow where the first showing of
the deadline will trigger you to schedule it, and then you don't
want to be reminded of it because you will take care of it on the
day when scheduled."
I started applying this to tasks with repeating deadlines. So,
for instance, I have the following in my agenda right now:
** REPEAT oil change
:drive:
SCHEDULED: <2014-12-23 Tue 09:00> DEADLINE: <2014-12-31 Wed .+6m>
When I mark this done, the deadline repeater updates as I expect.
But the scheduling information stays there and I have to manually
unschedule the task to get it out of my agenda.
I started looking into writing a function to unschedule after a
repeat, but I'm having difficulty figuring out where to hook into
`org-todo'. Or do I want to hook into `org-auto-repeat-maybe'?
So, yeah. Do others use this `pre-scheduled' workflow for
repeating deadlines? If so, is there an obvious solution to this
little nuisance that I'm not seeing?

I do use this style of workflow. But, where I have repeating tasks that I
want to treat this way, I clone them and don't use the repeat function.
