Hi Sebastien,

I personally use the clock report for _today_ often and I want it to
include all of the time, even if I am filtering tasks on today's
agenda.  If this behaviour was to change I would like an option to keep
it the way it is now.

I can see cases where I would want to filter the clock report by tags as
well so I think having an option for both would be useful.

Bernt
