I noticed this line while reviewing the backport and wanted to ask, why
do we document the storage location publicly?  We don't generally
promise anything about the internal structure of .svn/ so this would
be a first.

I put that information there to help the people who (inevitably) run into problems. I want them to be able recover manually.

I would not intend to keep that sentence in the final non-experimental version of shelving. I have now filed a sub-task of the Shelving issue to remind me to remove it:
  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4731

Thanks for checking up on this point.
