Hi,
the manpage says
history-size (0)
Set the maximum number of history entries saved in the history
list.
If set to zero, any existing history entries are deleted and
no new
entries are saved. If set to a value less than zero, the
number of
history entries is not limited. By default, the number of
history
entries is not limited.
so the default seems to be 0 (no history) according to the header, but
unlimited according to the text. One is likely wrong.
Greetings,
Joachim

The manpage for bash 5.0 states:
history-size (unset)
Set the maximum number of history entries saved in the history
list. If set to zero, any existing history entries are deleted and no
new entries are saved. If set to a value less than zero, the number
of history entries is not limited. By default, the number of history
entries is set to the value of the HISTSIZE shell variable. If an
attempt is made to set history-size to a non-numeric value, the
maximum number of history entries will be set to 500.
