If the Subversion team accepts such a patch or implements it by themself, TSVN
will provide a GUI option for this API - I'm sure.

BTW I could not find any mail with "shelving" in the subject neither in @user
nor in @dev. So please give us a URL or Message-ID if you are referring to
discussions on other mailing lists.

And what is the benefit over "Create branch from WC"?

You could just merge the revisions which include the bugfix to trunk.

I don't understand the point of this paragraph... What has Visual Studio to do
with Subversion or TortoiseSVN?

Please explain more what you mean and what you refer to,
Thanks Rainer
