Re: [RFC] Shelving and Checkpointing

I committed an initial prototype for shelving on the "shelve-checkpoint"
branch.

Here is the help output:
[[[
$ svn shelve --help
shelve: Shelve changes.
usage: 1. shelve NAME PATH...
        2. shelve --delete NAME
        3. shelve --list

   1. Shelve as NAME the local changes in the given PATHs.
   2. Delete the shelved patch NAME.
   3. List shelved patches.
[...]

$ svn unshelve --help
unshelve: Unshelve changes.
usage: unshelve [--keep] NAME

]]]

Here is an example session:
[[[
$ # create and commit some files

$ mkdir doc; echo hello > doc/hello.txt; echo config > config

$ svn add --force .; svn ci -q -m ""
A config
A doc
A doc/hello.txt

$ # start making some changes to docs

$ echo new > doc/new.txt; svn add doc/new.txt
A doc/new.txt

$ echo more >> config

$ svn st
M config
A doc/new.txt

$ # shelve these documentation changes

$ svn shelve docs .
U config
D doc/new.txt
shelved 'docs'

$ svn st

$ svn shelve --list
docs.patch

$ # work on a quick fix and commit it

$ echo Hello > doc/hello.txt

$ svn ci -q -m "Fix capitalization."

$ # unshelve to continue work on docs

$ svn unshelve docs
U config
A doc/new.txt
unshelved 'docs'

$ svn st
M config
A doc/new.txt

$ svn shelve --list

]]]

If you have a chance to try it yourself, I'd love to hear your first
impressions.
