[Tfug] bash history duplication?

[Matt Jacob]

My man page says: "If set to a value of ignoredups, lines matching the 
last history line are not entered."

I take that to mean that 'ls' followed by 'pwd' followed by 'uptime' 
will all show up, while 'ls', 'ls', 'ls' will only show one occurrence 
of ls.
