Isn't "hg shelve" and "hg unshelve" very similar to "git stash"? Git 
people (who are very excited about their "index") seem to be very proud 
of "git stash."

So I'd say that Git philosophy would favor "stash", and it would be nice 
if something similar existed in (default) Mercurial -- maybe like shelve 
and unshelve.

(personally, in both Git/Mercurial I use StGit/MQ, and so "stashing" and 
"shelving" seems unnecessary to me, but I fear I may be missing something)
