usage: gtd done <action-file>
Where <action-file> is expected to be the path (absolute or relative) to an
action item file. The action item file is expected to be in the *projects*
folder, the *next-actions* folder, the *waiting* folder, or a subfolder of one of
the aforementioned folders. The item is prepended with the current date and
moved to the *done* folder. If the item was in a project folder, the
*next-actions* and *waiting* folders are scanned recursively for duplicates of
the item, which are removed if found. Similarly, if the action was in a
*next-actions* or *waiting* folder the *projects* folder is scanned recursively
for duplicates.
The intention of the duplicate removal is to allow you to copy actions from
project folders into next action or waiting contexts, so you can keep a view of
the item organized by the project or in your next actions list. The GTD CLI tool
is smart enough to recognize that these are the same items filed in more than
one place and deal with them all in one fell swoop. Duplicates are determined by
exact file contents (MD5 has of the file contents)."""
