Accurev has a similar concept to shelving (keep in their terms which is independent of promote) and I know of another tool called Omniworks (now effectively...
Someone pointed me at this thread (and, coincidentally, I just saw the Subversion-related shelving post a few days ago). I thought you guys might like some...
