unshelve

Here's the part I get: When you shelve in TFS, it makes a server copy of the changes so they are not lost, but does not check them into the source code trunk/branch you are working on.

Question: Under what circumstances would you use the "unshelve" feature? Does it mean it will remove the shelveset from the TFS server? Can you do a get from a shelveset? Or is it really just a diff description between the shelveset and the "real" source code?

What are the chances that the underlying module uses mmap? I'm prototyping a datastore, and while I realize… >>> More

I'm really excited about Perforce's new shelve command. They say that you should be able to "reassign" the changelist to someone else, who can then unshelve it. How do I reassign a shelved changelist? Is there a way to do it in p4v, or only at the commandline? >>> More
