[Orgmode] Novice questions about using git for personal data files

2009-01-23 Thread Alan E. Davis
I followed the steps outlined in the worg tutorial about using git to keep track of changes to one's own org data tree. I still don't understand: how does one go about recovering an earlier version of a file that has been corrupted? Is there a good tutorial on this aspect of using git? I really

Hi Matt 1. Your first suggestion is spot on. Thanks. 2. Since I have a number of TODO action items in several projects, I would like to display only top two of them for each project at a time in an agenda. Is it somehow possible using some particular custom agenda view? In my second

Yup, I guess, what I want is org-depend. But I will have to really spend some time to make that work since I am quite new to org and emacs too. Thanks for the insight. And, is there any way to change colour of whole statements of different TODO states in agenda mode? Because setting face
