I have recently been writing more about it in the Wiki. All you want to know should be written here:
  https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SVN/Shelving+in+Svn-trunk
and in the other linked pages.

Shelving does support binary files now, in trunk. Shelving version 1 in Svn 1.10 does not support binary files.

Currently (in trunk) it works for all/selected modified/added/removed/replaced files, with their properties; not untracked/missing/moved/copied, and not directories.

I would like to make JavaHL bindings so you can start to use shelving. I will have a go and let you know how it goes.
