Hi Greg,
due to the way this is coded, it is not easy to fix it in a way that
the repeater is kept. Also, I think it is good if the user does such
changes by hand, to be sure he/she notices that the repeating process
not be correct after such a change. So I am going with your proposal
to issue a warning if org-schedule or org-deadline is called in an
entry that has a repeater.
Personally, I normally would not change the scheduling time stamp at
all in this case, but just add an extra timestamp for saturday to this
entry.
Thanks.

On the whole I'm happily using org-mode. One thing that I'm unhappy
with is that when I'm looking at the agenda and decide to reschedule a
task that has a repeater, the repeater is obliterated. That is, if
the task is:
* TODO Oil change
SCHEDULED <2008-6-1 +3m>
and I think to myself "I'll do that on Saturday, not on Tuesday" then
hit C-c C-s and put in the new date, the repeater is obliterated.
Ideally, the repeater would just be preserved as-is. Almost as good
is if there's some clue in the minibuffer that the task has a repeater
and I should remember to include it in the new date. As it stands, I
have this in my .emacs file to prevent manual changes to tasks with
repeaters---in that case I just look at the org file and change the
schedule date manually:
(defadvice org-schedule
(around gsn/org-prevent-rescheduling-repeated-tasks activate)
"If the current task has a repeater, prevent rescheduling it to
avoid obliterating the repeater."
(if (org-get-repeat)
(message "*** Can't reschedule this task without obliterating
repeater ***")
ad-do-it))
I'm writing the list to see if there's a way to do this and I was just
dumb when I read the manual. If not, I guess this is a feature
request. I'm using v 6.04c.
Best,
Greg
