How to Use Shelving in TortoiseSVN 1.9.99 Build 28012
Start with a version-controlled folder or file that contains some local (uncommitted) changes.
- Right-click
- Select TortoiseSVN -> Shelve
- Enter a name and click OK
Subversion makes a patch (like with the Create Patch command) and saves the patch into .svn/shelves/NAME.patch and reverts those changes from your local files. That is Shelving your local changes.
To make other changes, Shelve them with a different name.
You can also restore the previously shelved changes back into your working files. Select "Unshelve" and select the name of the shelved change, click OK, and Subversion applies the patch (like using the Apply Patch command) and removes the patch.
