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] :-) >> Yes, there are times when I want to have 2 or 3 shelves that I can >> manage as I bounce around a tree making "emergency/critical" fixes. Are you sure shelving/unshelving is the right thing to do? What happen to the clone-fix-commit-pull-update flow? >> Yes, there are times when I have a big hunk of stuff and what I want >> to do is just commit it in pieces. 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. >> > Finally, someone understand my problem. This a different issue we are talking about. Unless I misinterpreted your post earlier.
