Personally, I would've gone with creating a directory
~/.history-bash
and use
export HISTFILE="${HOME}/.history-bash/`tty | cut -c 6-`"
it will help tidy up somewhat the root of your home directory.
It would also make history searching a tad confusing... AFAIK, Bash
loads the history on startup from HISTFILE. So... suppose you issued a
long command in pts4. You then closed all the ptses. Then you start up
another one. Well, it happens to be pts1... then even ctrl-r will not
help you find the really long command you typed in pts4.
