Just curious: does shelving only works for text files or also for binary
files?
The current early implementation does not yet work for binary files, but
that is one of the next few features on the roadmap for support.
BTW: what I really miss in SVN is not shelving, but rather the ability
to select individually which line/hunk to commit.
Thank you for the feedback! I have no current plans to implement that,
but it is good to know what your favourite missing features are.

TortoiseSVN now has 'Shelve' and 'Unshelve' commands implemented, if
you build it from source using the 'shelve' branch. It uses the
shelving prototype API in Subversion's 'shelve' branch.
The purpose at this stage is to get early feedback on the Shelving
feature from a wider range of users by presenting the shelving
prototype in a GUI.
If you can try it, please do, and please reply with any thoughts it
brings to mind.
The UI is very basic in the initial revision (r27987). 'Shelve' shows
a selection list of modified files, like commit and revert do, and
asks you to type a name. 'Unshelve' just asks you to type a name.
Hopefully we'll get some improvements in, even before we try
presenting this prototype to a wider range of users outside the
dev-lists. For a start, 'Unshelve' should show a list of previously
shelved patches and allow selecting one from the list, with the most
recent one chosen by default.
