>Description:
sh history stores consecutive redundant lines for no reason.
>How-To-Repeat:
enter the same command many times at a sh prompt.
>Fix:
don't enter command into history if equal to last command.
it is a minor irritant to scroll back thru sh history stepping
past multiple consecutive and redundant lines, and there is no
good reason for storing multiple consecutive/redundant lines.
