What is your value of ̀org-time-stamp-rounding-minutes'?

Replacing (current-time) with (org-current-time) here will surprise
users that use ̀org-time-stamp-rounding-minutes' only for modifying
time-stamps and not for clocking in.

We could have an option for this, letting users decide whether they 
want `org-time-stamp-rounding-minutes' to apply to clocking in.  Do 
you want to work in this direction?

For next patches, please use `C-x v =' from the modified buffer, it
creates a well formatted patch.  Also consider git format-patch for
bigger changes.  Please read this:

Let us know when this is done.

C-e always go to the end of ordinary lines here, with various values of
`org-special-ctrl-a/e' and `line-move-visual'.  Can you post a recipe
and an example file so that I can reprodce?

I'm not sure I understand the issue correctly - thanks for further
details.
