Re: [Orgmode] Bug: ICal export, filetags and tag inheritance

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi Harri,

this was a missing save-match-data around the call
to `org-get-tags-at'.  The reason why you get this strange
behavior is that a failed matching attempt preserves the
old match data, so if there was no successful regexp match,
everything was well.

Wrapping that call with save-match-data
would have fixed the problem, but it turns out that it is not
necessary at all to construct the tags list because the loop
has already checked for the archiving status earlier.

Fixed now, thanks.
