@thin "carries" structural information in the actual external file.
@shadow carries structure in the private file.  The difference is
subtle, but important.

When you do a bzr pull on a node containing sentinels you get the
*new* structure from the push.  When you do a bzr pull on an public
@shadow file you get the new data but *not* any new structure:  the
@shadow update algorithm "invents" a way to incorporate the new data
using the *old* structure.  In general, this will be a lot less
convenient than using files with sentinels.

I am no longer sure what the original intention was ;-)
