Funny this should be mentioned...  Just yesterday one our less
travelled developers mentioned the wonderful shelve feature in
IntelliJ at which point I mentioned shelve in Bazaar.

Naturally they asked to see an example... Uh oh.

"Ahh well you see it works on my linux box at home just not on Windows." 8-(

I think convinving them we can move from Subversion to Bazaar in the
near future just got harder...

Amazing how they can focus on the failure of a Bazaar feature they
don't even have in Subversion but there you have it.

I'd love for these locking issues to be fixed so that shelve works on
Windows as that's where I live most of the time.
