#!/usr/bin/env zsh
#
# This is a implementation of per directory history for zsh, some
# implementations of which exist in bash[1,2].  It also implements
# a per-directory-history-toggle-history function to change from using the
# directory history to using the global history.  In both cases the history is
# always saved to both the global history and the directory history, so the
# toggle state will not effect the saved histories.  Being able to switch
# between global and directory histories on the fly is a novel feature as far
# as I am aware.
#
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Configuration
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# HISTORY_BASE a global variable that defines the base directory in which the
# directory histories are stored
#
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# History
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# The idea/inspiration for a per directory history is from Stewart MacArthur[1]
# and Dieter[2], the implementation idea is from Bart Schaefer on the zsh
# mailing list[3].  The implementation is by Jim Hester in September 2012.
