Why is this not fixed in 1.11?
Not only does the command "bzr shelve" always fail on Windows, it is also complicated to recover from. See below.

> bzr version
Bazaar (bzr) 1.11

If you're sure that it's not being modified, use bzr break-lock file:///C:/src/.bzr/checkout/lock
bzr: ERROR: Could not acquire lock "LockDir(file:///C:/src/.bzr/checkout/lock)"

Please examine C:/src/.bzr/checkout/limbo to see if it contains any files you wish to keep, and delete it when you are done.

Again!?

Now, we are finally back to square one.
