Subversion: Shelve Changes Dialog Box

The Shelve Changes dialog box enables you to temporarily set aside some not yet committed changes in a working directory as a patch file.

Note: After a patch with all the modifications is created and shelved, the local, not yet committed, modifications are reverted in the working copy (i.e., the working copy gets clear of the local changes). The previously modified files become up to date.

You access this dialog box by selecting a versioned project, file, or folder and choosing Team > Shelve > Shelve Changes from the main menu.

To define the patch to be shelved, you need to specify the following option:

Element Description

Patch Name

Enter the name for a patch to be shelved.

When you click Shelve, the IDE stashes away the not yet committed changes contained in the selected project, file, or folder into a patch file and reverts the modified files in the working copy.
