Not sure if this is entirely relevant here, but I have a similar
problem.  I often find I need to mark recurring tasks as "done" that I
completed on the previous day or even earlier.  For most tasks, it
doesn't matter when I mark them as done; but if the task uses org-habits, it
means I have to manually edit the timestamp so that it doesn't mess up
the habit log going forward.

If there's a better way to deal with situations like this, I'd love to
hear about it.  If not, I just wanted to point out another use case for
anyone thinking about implementing "retroactive timestamp editing"
functions.

Thanks!

Richard
