From 55f05e6f12d8fa2d102a66a2f8d93c53f9b01faf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Frysinger Date: Thu, 21 May 2015 04:06:10 +0000 Subject: app-shells/bash: Back out the `history -a` by default as it can be a bit troublesome with the constant disk load (failing drives, flaky network e.g. NFS, etc...).
