As you see, there are several repeated lines. Many of them are commands I use
constantly. I started with a clean history. But even if not, the duplicates
should have been erased, as I understood from the manual page?
I can't reproduce this behavior. It's possible that you can still get
duplicated lines if you are in the habit of using history -n or
history -r, but I can't duplicate it using straight command input from
the keyboard.
