Changing due date of a recurring task creates a duplicate:

$ task add due:today recur:weekly asdf
Created task 164.

$ task list asdf

ID  Project Pri Due       Active Age Description
165             4/5/2011           - asdf       
166             4/12/2011          - asdf       

2 tasks
$ task 165 due:tomorrow
Task 165 is a recurring task, and all other instances of this task will be modified.
Modified 3 tasks.
$ task list asdf

ID  Project Pri Due      Active Age     Description
165             4/6/2011        23 secs asdf       
166             4/6/2011        23 secs asdf

Such action should only affect the next task from the recurring series. Then the program should ask if the user wants to change the whole series. Also, (at)Modified 3 tasks.@ message is mysterious. Where is the third task?

This is a nasty problem, because the child tasks have already been generated. With the recurring task overhaul scheduled for an upcoming release, this problem will magically disappear. I'm deferring until then.

Deferring until recurring task overhaul.
