We have a non-interactive Java version that is currently not compatible
with hg shelve. It basically stores away the diffs in a .hg subdirectory
and can reimport them. If the feature request below is implemented,
there's actually no difference but the used directory - which should be
easy for us to change. If shelve is working again and supports
non-interactive use, we'll switch to your extension as that means less
code duplication / maintenance.

How about this: 

hg shelve -q <shelfname> file1 file2 file3 and 
hg unshelve -q <shelf-name>

Thanks for looking into this!
