Hi Nathan,

Yep I did read that one. I want to avoid branching because shelving seems to be
a way to share and review code patches that might not be good enough to commit.
In just the same way patch files fly around on the dev list. (I don't think this
is just about write-access, or lack of. It's also to do with peer-review).

You write code, get your collegues to review the patch, if all is well, commit.
All this you can do with (T)SVN, I'm just thinking about ways to facilitate the
sharing and storing of patches.
