Description

Command-line completion for shelf names would be useful.

Our 'tools/client-side/bash_completion' script could be enhanced to do this.

I intentionally implemented "svn shelf-list -q" that outputs just the bare names, with that in mind.

danielsh points out that at least in zsh it's common for completions to be listed with a short description alongside each; this could be something like the output of "svn shelf-list" (no "-q") for a starting point. I'm not sure if a way to show completions with descriptions is standardized in Bash.
