These shelves are meant for "personal branches", that is a branch you make to be able to work in peace and quiet with your own stuff, and then merge this with trunk (or whatever) when you have finished. The idea here being that you can commit non compiling code at will, not disturbing others, while having the benefit that the code is under version control. Are there any "official" views on the usage of shelves in Svn, or any best-practice available?

I wrote a blog post about this, what seems like a lifetime ago now.
