[O] habits and todo state changes

[Andrew Francis Swann]

Having recently set-up an org habit for the first time, I have some
feedback on the manual page `Tracking your habits'. Point 6 currently
states

  6. You must also have state logging for the `DONE' state enabled
  (*note Tracking TODO state changes::), in order for historical
  data to be represented in the consistency graph.  If it is not
  enabled it is not an error, but the consistency graphs will be
  largely meaningless.


which I found a little too vague.

I had  org-log-done  set to 'note.  This was not sufficient to get correct
habit consistency graphs.  Changing it to 'time was, but I quickly got fed
up with not being prompted for notes on closing other types of task.  I
therefore reverted to 'note, but added the property

   :LOGGING: DONE(!)

to the habit task.  This now works smoothly as I wished.

Based on this I suggest adding the above LOGGING line to the PROPERTIES in
the example included in the manual so it reads:

        :PROPERTIES:
        :STYLE:    habit
        :LOGGING: DONE(!)
        :LAST_REPEAT: [2009-10-19 Mon 00:36]
        :END:

This should make it easier for other users to set up this feature.
