Package: awesome
Version: 3.4.11-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

I can't quite remember when it stopped working, but the command history
in prompt (Mod4+r) always appeared in th order they had been executed,
i.e. if I started luakit, then uzbl, then luakit again, I would see
luakit, after pressing (Mod4+r) and up arrow, as it was the last command
I executed; now I will see uzbl, even though I run luakit after it.

The problem becomes more apparent with dozens of commands in the history
when running a command, which has been executed 5 commands before, twice
in a row, would require pressing up arrow ten times both the first and
the second time. With old behavioud it would have been 5 times the
first time and once the second time. With more than 10 commands in
cache, the history becomes useless as it's easier to re-enter the
command name again rather then scroll up thorugh the history even if the
command's being run over and over again.

It appears that commands which have been run previously and run again
are not being saved in history file [0] after subsequent executions.
To bring back previous behaviour the command should be pushed down in
the file, e.g. similarly to zsh's "histignorealldups" option.

I would appreciate any help with trying to resolve this issue.

Raf
