Hi Greg,
due to the way this is coded, it is not easy to fix it in a way that
the repeater is kept. Also, I think it is good if the user does such
changes by hand, to be sure he/she notices that the repeating process
not be correct after such a change. So I am going with your proposal
to issue a warning if org-schedule or org-deadline is called in an
entry that has a repeater.
Personally, I normally would not change the scheduling time stamp at
all in this case, but just add an extra timestamp for saturday to this
entry.
Thanks.
- Carsten
