Support for shelve/unshelve

[gep13]

Have you thought about adding support for doing shelve/unshelve operations within this extension?

Thanks for the suggestion. Let me know your thoughts about how this would be best integrated. I'm undecided on this at the moment.

@mrcrowl I was worried that you might ask that 😄

Using an example of how SourceTree does it... You have the option of creating a shelve at any point. You are prompted for a shelve name, and then all uncommitted changes are added to it and removed from uncommitted changes. You then have the ability to view existing shelves, and choose to unshelve it.

I could see those options being additional commands in the Hg extension, similar to push, pull, etc.

What do you think?

Thanks for the ideas. I think I'll wait for some others to vote on this before investing too much time on it.
I'm open to a pull-request if you're interested in having a crack at it.

@mrcrowl It is unlikely that I will be able to help with this, already juggling too many OSS projects as it is. Sorry!

My team just grabbed this extension and this was one of the things that came up that we'd love to have.

As another example, TortoiseHg does a great job with shelves, a little more flexible than what @gep13 described (you can select which uncommited files will be shelved, not just "all").
EDIT: and it's open source.

@opus-2 sounds good to me 👍
