shelve has a help message

  $ hg shelve -h

  hg shelve [OPTION]... [FILE]...

  save and set aside changes from the working directory

      Shelving takes files that "hg status" reports as not clean, saves the

      modifications to a bundle (a shelved change), and reverts the files so

      that their state in the working directory becomes clean.

      To restore these changes to the working directory, using "hg unshelve";

      this will work even if you switch to a different commit.

      When no files are specified, "hg shelve" saves all not-clean files. If

      specific files or directories are named, only changes to those files are

      shelved.

      Each shelved change has a name that makes it easier to find later. The

      name of a shelved change defaults to being based on the active bookmark,

      or if there is no active bookmark, the current named branch.  To specify a

      different name, use "--name".

      To see a list of existing shelved changes, use the "--list" option. For

      each shelved change, this will print its name, age, and description; use "

      --patch" or "--stat" for more details.

      To delete specific shelved changes, use "--delete". To delete all shelved

      changes, use "--cleanup".

  (use "hg help -e shelve" to show help for the shelve extension)

  options ([+] can be repeated):

   -A --addremove           mark new/missing files as added/removed before

                            shelving

      --cleanup             delete all shelved changes

      --date DATE           shelve with the specified commit date

   -d --delete              delete the named shelved change(s)

   -e --edit                invoke editor on commit messages

   -l --list                list current shelves

   -m --message TEXT        use text as shelve message

   -n --name NAME           use the given name for the shelved commit

   -p --patch               show patch

   -i --interactive         interactive mode, only works while creating a shelve

      --stat                output diffstat-style summary of changes

   -I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns

   -X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns

      --mq                  operate on patch repository

  (some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)

shelving in an empty repo should be possible

(this tests also that editor is not invoked, if '--edit' is not

specified)
