I gave it a quick spin. The first thing that struck me was sadness at
not finding an elpa package :-(

Anyway, I obtained it from its repo and I positioned calendar on 7th of
February, and invoked it on an entry I forgot to mark as done yesterday.
This is the result:

,----
| ** TODO Practice guitar
|    SCHEDULED: <2017-02-08 Wed ++1d/3d>
|    :PROPERTIES:
|    :STYLE:    habit
|    :LAST_REPEAT: [2017-02-08 Tue 12:01]
|    :END:
|    :LOGBOOK:
|    - State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2017-02-07 Tue 11:55] \\
`----

Note that:

- new scheduled time is correct
- logbook entry is correct
- LAST_REPEAT property is *incorrect*; I expect this too to be
