shelve1 is an older command that uses a completely different way of
storing patches, etc. It is built directly off of diff + patch
executables. shelve (technically shelve v2) uses bzr merge directives to
store the content.

One of the main benefits is that shelve (v2) can handle renames, binary
files, etc.

shelve1 existed for a while because there was a locking bug in shelve
(v2) that kept it from working on Windows. That has since been fixed. At
this point, the only thing shelve1 provides is that you can
interactively unshelve, rather than all or nothing.

As such, I would say it would be best to just remove it entirely. But
I'm not the author of bzrtools.
