Apologies for the late reply, but one simple way to make sure repeating
habits return to a HABIT state is to add a REPEAT_TO_STATE property to
each of your habits. (Of course, HABIT needs to be defined in your
org-todo-keywords.)
E.g.,
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* HABIT Run
SCHEDULED: <2010-11-09 Tue .+1d/2d>
:PROPERTIES:
:STYLE: habit
:REPEAT_TO_STATE: HABIT
:END:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
If you want to do this quickly for all existing habits you could
evaluate the following:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(org-map-entries '(org-set-property "REPEAT_TO_STATE" "HABIT")
"+STYLE=\"HABIT\"" 'agenda)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Best,
Matt
