Now you can set :stepskip0 to achieve this.

i/q/C-g Ignore this question; the same as keeping all the idle time.
k/K Keep X minutes of the idle time (default is all). If this
amount is less than the default, you will be clocked out
that many minutes after the time that idling began, and then
clocked back in at the present time.
g/G Indicate that you \"got back\" X minutes ago. This is quite
different from 'k': it clocks you out from the beginning of
the idle period and clock you back in X minutes ago.
s/S Subtract the idle time from the current clock. This is the
same as keeping 0 minutes.
C Cancel the open timer altogether. It will be as though you
never clocked in.
j/J Jump to the current clock, to make manual adjustments.
For all these options, using uppercase makes your final state
to be CLOCKED OUT.

The `org-clock-set-current' and `org-clock-delete-current' functions
handle this variable. The variable only stores the last clocked in
entry, not the history of clocked in tasks.
Fixes Lisp error: (error "Not enough arguments for format string") when the
task to be clocked in has both a % in the heading due to the [%] cookie and an effort.
The variable `org-clock-out-when-done' can now also be a list of
states. When the TODO state of a task changes to one of these states,
the clock will stop running in that task.
This extension of the logic was a proposal by Ricard Riley.
Skip clocking out when we are clocking in the same task that
is currently clocking but go through the normal clock-in
setup so a modified task name or effort property is
updated in the modeline.
Avoid closing the currently clocking entry when clocking in the same task
again. Leave the clock entry open until some other task is clocked in.
This allows us to clock in tasks with hooks that are called frequently without
generating lots of short sequential clock entries for the same task.

Now the recommendation is to use clock persistence only for the
history, and to use John's code for resolving a clock that has been
idle (either because the user stopped working or exited Emacs).
(org-clock-disable-clock-resolution): New customization variable that
disable automatic clock resolution on clock in.
(org-clock-in): If `org-clock-disable-clock-resolution' is set, do not
automatically resolve anything. This is does not affect idle-time
resolution, however, if `org-clock-idle-time' is set.
See the new manual section on "Resolving idle time".
(org-clock-resolve-clock): If keeping or subtracting time results in a
clock out at a time in the past, and if the resolution occurred due to
idleness or invoking `M-x org-resolve-clocks', remember that past moment
in time. On the next clock in, the user will be prompted to see if they
want to back-date their new clock to then.
(org-clock-resolve): Do not jump the user to the location of a dangling
clock if the resolution is occuring due to an idle timeout. In that
case there is typically only one dangling clock, the active one, and
there is no value gained by shuffling their windows around to show it to
them. Being prompted to resolve an idle clock should be as inobtrusive
as possible.
(org-resolve-clocks-if-idle): New function that resolves only the
currently active clock if the user has exceeded the time returned by
`org-user-idle-seconds', based on the value of `org-clock-idle-time'.
(org-clock-in): If, after resolving clocks,
(org-clock-out): Cancel the `org-clock-idle-timer' on clock out.
(org-clock-resolve-clock): New function that resolves a clock to a
specific time, closing or resuming as need be, and possibly even
starting a new clock.
(org-clock-resolve): New function used by `org-resolve-clocks' that sets
up for the call to `org-clock-resolve-clock'. It determines the time to
resolve to based on a single-character selection from the user to either
keep time, subtract away time or cancel the clock.
(org-resolve-clocks): New user command which resolves dangling clocks --
that is, open but not active -- anywhere in the file list returned by
`org-files-list'.
(org-clock-in): Automatically resolve dangling clocks whenever a user
clocks in.
(org-clock-cancel): If the user cancels the solely clock in a LOGBOOK,
remove the empty drawer.
(org-clock-idle-time): New user customizable option for detecting
whether the user has left a clock idle. Note: it is only used in this
commit to test whether it's worthwhile to check OS X to get the Mac
user's current idle time. If the Emacs idle time is less than the
value, the user hasn't been away long enough to be worth checking (a
more expensive test than just getting Emacs idle time).
(org-user-idle-seconds, org-mac-idle-seconds)
(org-emacs-idle-seconds): This three functions, in conjunction
with the user customization variable `org-clock-idle-time', return
the number of seconds (as a floating point) that the user has been
away from their Emacs (or, if running on OS X, their computer).
(org-find-open-clocks): New function that returns a list of all open
clocks in the given FILE. Note that each clock it returns is a cons
cell of the format (MARKER . START-TIME). This "clock" value is used by
several of the new clock module utility functions.
(org-is-active-clock): New inline function which tests whether the given
clock value is the same as the currently active clock. Returns non-nil
if this is the case.
(org-with-clock-position): New macro that evaluates FORMS with point in
the buffer and at the position of the given clock. Changes to the
current clock are global.
(org-with-clock): New macro that evaluates FORMS with point in the
buffer and at the position of the given clock. However, changes to the
current clock are local and have no effect on the user's active clock.
This allows, for example, far any clock to be cancelled without
cancelling the active clock.
(org-clock-clock-in): New inline function that switches the active clock
to the given clock. If either the argument RESUME, or the global
`org-clock-in-resume', are non-nil, it will resume a clock that was
previously left open.
(org-clock-clock-out): New inline function that clocks out the given
clock value without affecting the currently active clock.
(org-clock-clock-cancel): New inline function that cancels the given
clock value without affecting the currently active clock.
(org-clock-out): Accept new third parameter `at-time', which permits a
clock to be clocked out at a specific time. Note that no attempt is
made to verify that the clock out time is later than the clock in time.
