While you're here:

I think "unshelve" could also allow per-hunk selection. Suppose you
have 5 unrelated changes in your tree, and want to commit 5 revisions.
Then you probably want something like

$ bzr shelve --all
$ bzr unshelve --interactive # that's just to add one to the list of
                             # possible names for this option ;-)
<select patche hunks for the first commit>
$ bzr commit -m "first portion"
$ bzr unshelve --interactive
...
$ bzr commit ...

and so on.
