--------------------------------
Summary: Shelving: remind user if old 1.10 shelves exist
Key: SVN-4778
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4778
Project: Subversion
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Julian Foad
If old shelves created by Subversion 1.10 exist in the WC, shelving should
remind the user, for these reasons:
# to help the user avoid losing their work (perhaps forgetting it exists and
deleting the WC);
# to help the user read the names of their old shelves (as the filenames are
encoded);
# to encourage the user to free up the ".svn/shelves" namespace
The reminder could be issued when "svn shelf-list" is used.
It would be sufficient to list the names of the old shelves, with a note
explaining that the user can restore them using "svn patch .svn/shelves/FOO".
It is not necessary to provide any further commands to manipulate them.
Note that a 1.10 shelf is in the form of a patch file and does not contain
enough metadata to be converted easily, deterministically, automatically to a
newer format.
