I am _for_ adding the record support. It's just not there because I
only had [very little] time to work on the shelve support (you look
probably tell by looking at the patch queue revisions). As I
mentioned, the work I have so far is just a [prove-of-concept]
prototype.

What you don't see in TortoiseHg doesn't necessary mean that they had
been voted out [by me] :-)

Are you sure shelving/unshelving is the right thing to do? What happen
to the clone-fix-commit-pull-update flow?

I wonder what lead to the big chunk of changes that you have to commit
later in small pieces. I understand it happens, that's why we have the
record/shelve extension. But maybe you don't commit often enough?

I have a strong feeling that Matt never uses the record extension, let
alone hgshelve. In some way, they encourage bad practice.

Confession: I wrote the hgshelve extension because it's a good
challenge. It might sound strange, but I never use it in actual
development work.

This a different issue we are talking about. Unless I misinterpreted
your post earlier.

Well, maybe it's me.
