[O] Function that splits a CLOCK interval
Dear org-mode community, I use org's clocking facility to clock all my working time. I frequently find myself clocking time for a task T1, but later realise that I actually spent part of this time on some other task T2. In such a situation I go to the corresponding CLOCK: line for T1, split the interval clocked, e.g. from CLOCK: [2015-03-30 Mon 16:27]--[2015-03-30 Mon 16:30] = 0:03 to CLOCK: [2015-03-30 Mon 16:28]--[2015-03-30 Mon 16:30] = 0:02 CLOCK: [2015-03-30 Mon 16:27]--[2015-03-30 Mon 16:28] = 0:01 and move one of the two lines to the LOGBOOK of task T2.
