Hi Thomas,

Just curious: does shelving only works for text files or also for binary files?

BTW: what I really miss in SVN is not shelving, but rather the ability to select individually which line/hunk to commit.
In case you are using TortoiseSVN:
Are you aware of TSVN's "Restore after commit" feature? See "Commit only parts of files" here: https://tortoisesvn.net/docs/nightly/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-commit.html

The idea is that in the commit dialog you right-click the file you don't want to commit completely and select "Restore after commit". You then double click that file to open up the diff-viewer and revert all the changes you want to hold back.

I understand that you are asking for a slightly different functionality here, but maybe helps already to some degree.

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.
