summary:
Trivial change: Update comments in activate about what running hash -r does
(GH-125385)
Update comments about what running hash -r does
The old comment said "hash -r" forgets "past commands." However, the
documentation for "hash" states that it forgets past locations. The old comment
was, in my opinion, confusing. This is because it could be interpreted to mean
it does something to the command history (HISTORY/HISTFILE etc) vs the cache of
locations.
