 Hello friends, 
 I just discovered org-agenda-diary-entry, which is a terrific command
 to streamline my planning process as I move away from using the raw
 diary file. But it lacks a feature that is key to my usage: it
 conveniently creates a diary item in my configured org file and sticks
 a time stamp on it; but I need to be able to edit that time stamp to
 add an hour to it, so I can plug it into the details of my day. It (I
 would assume `C-.' ) ought to work the same way C-d or C-s does on an
 agenda entry, allowing you to change and refine the deadline/schedule
 time of the item. But search as I might, this doesn't seem to be
 implemented yet.

You can change the timestamp from the agenda with .

,[ (info (org) Agenda commands)
| ‘ (org-agenda-date-prompt)’
|  Change the timestamp associated with the current line.  The key ‘’
|  has been chosen, because it is the same as ‘S-.’ on my keyboard.
`

 Also, it doesn't really seem to play nicely with adding deadline or
 schedule to the same item, as you will end up with multiple agenda
 entries on the same day for the same item (with the generic timestamp
 being the least useful of these entries). Is there a use case for
 this, or is it as redundant as it looks to me right now?

See the following variables:

org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled
org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown
org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown
org-agenda-skip-additional-timestamps-same-entry

Best,
Matt
