Sounds like the correct explanation. > Neither shelve or unshelve appear to use svn_sleep_for_timestamp(). Actually shelve already does, in the relevant code path, which is inside svn_client_shelf_unapply() where it uses svn_client_revert4() which does. Unshelve sleeps now, since r1833532. Hopefully that's the end of it. Thank you very much for the insight, Philip! - Julian
