Nice, I'm looking forward to trying this out! 

I notice it still uses a separate directory (.shelf2) to store the
shelves. Would it perhaps make sense to store them in the .bzr directory
(as .bzr/shelf2 or .bzr/checkout/shelf2)? This avoids a hack to update
the global ignores to ignore it and also makes it easier for other code
to skip bzr-related files. Now seems like a good moment to change this
sort of thing.

fwiw, I wouldn't mind seeing shelf in bzr.dev.

Cheers,

Jelmer
