Re: [BUG] Org-persist

[Christian Moe <mail@christianmoe.com>]

Fixed: I killed emacs, deleted ~/.cache/org-persist/, and things look
OK after restart.

Sorry, obvious solution, but I wasn't thinking straight last night.

I do have a backup of the org-persist directory if there's anything to
be learned from it about how this happened (but I'm traveling, and don't
have much time for forensics at the moment).

Yours,
Christian
