`hg shelve` is itself quite a complex command, with multiple failure
modes. So I don't see how it would be possible to bundle that in there.
And yes, I agree that having to shelve/unshelve all the time is a pain,
but I don't see a way around it, since a lot of evolve commands want a
clean working directory.
