Bash Version: 4.2
Patch Level: 45
Release Status: release
Description:
"history -r" called inside .bashrc does not respect HISTTIMEFORMAT.
Reads timestamps in as
history entries. Calling "history -r" on a command prompt works as
expected.
Repeat-By:
Put the following into .profile / .bashrc
HISTTIMEFORMAT=""
lastfile="$(ls -rt history*)"
history -r "$lastfile"
HISTFILE=~/history$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)
then start new shell, type some commands, exit
start second shell, view history
