Thanks, that's a much simpler work around than mine :)

That would work for most of my timeclock projects (0 to 2 spaces), but
occasionally I just want to enter a longer description on that line,
such as:

Met with John & Joe to discuss the authentication scheme

so, it would also be nice to get my space bar back from the over
zealous auto completer. I can M-x timeclock-visit-timelog and edit the
line manually, but it would be nicer to just enter it in the
minibuffer.

Another way to put this would be to say I'd like it to work like C-x C-
f where TAB will autocomplete, but SPC is just a SPC. Of course maybe
that's changed with v23 - I do recall some folks complaining about
losing their SPC autocomplete in find file - basically the opposite of
my problem.
