AnkhSVN shelves

Solution

The closest equivalent to shelving in Subversion is to create a branch and switch to it, commit your "work in progress", then switch back to the trunk. Later on you can merge from that "shelf branch" to get back to where you were. When evaluating TFS and Subversion before using either of them in anger I expected shelving to be really handy and an ability I'd miss in Subversion - but I've found that branching and switching is so simple in Subversion, it's actually quicker than using shelves anyway.

Problem

I just setup AnkhSVN after having used TFS till now What in AnkhSVN is the equivalent of shelves that I would create/use in TFS?
