SVN and shelving - for pre-commit code reviews

Hi,

I know that shelving is supposed to be a feature in a future SVN revision, supported on the SVN side. Here's an article of someone who wrote a utility to enhance SVN with shelving on the client side. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/29599/SVN-Shelve

I know that that utility is a bit of a hack, but the shelving functionality is useful. If you can copy all modified/added files to a "shelf" location which itself is under SVN version control, doing code reviews on uncommited code becomes easier - The author creates a named shelf, checks the files in. The reviewer checks/out or exports the shelved files and copies them back in to the original locations. After the reviewer is done, she can SVN revert to get rid of the shelf files.

So..., I'm wondering if it would make sense to have such a feature in TSVN. Some thought would need to go into how it would work in detail / design, but I just wanted to float the idea and see what others think.

Best,

Friedrich
