o History deduplication in BIRD client.
Nice! This feature alone pretty much is reason enough to upgrade all my instances :-)
Minor update: currently it only does eliminate repeating commands from the history. I personally wouldn't mind even more aggressive deduplication. Currently A A B B C C B B A becomes A B C B A; reducing it to C B A could have it benefits as well. When troubleshooting I tend to do a fair amount of alternating "sh os ne" and "sh os st" for instance. Getting back to commands prior to (for example) 10 alternations between those 2 is still the same with this new feature. Perhaps a build and/or commandline option could be added for this?
We could probably make that command-line option (how many last lines would be checked for deduplication). -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
