org-autoclock.el --- Automatically clock projects
;;
;; Author: Piotr Zielinski
;; Homepage: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pz215/
;; Version: 0.01
;;
;; Tested with emacs 22.0.50 and org-mode 4.58
;;
;; This package scans your org files looking for links to local files
;; and directories (file:/local/file/example/). If you are editing a
;; file whose name starts with /local/file/example/, then this package
;; will assume that you are working on the project described by the
;; headline in your org file containing the link
;; file:/local/file/example and start org-clocking it.
;;
;; Current version at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pz215/files/org-autoclock.el
