Hi,
I have my ~/.bash_profile set to source ~/.bashrc ; inside bashrc,
I have the line : 

export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups 

yet my history file is full of duplicate commands, 
is there something else i need to do to have only 
unique commands stored in my history file? 

This is is on Debian Sid.

thanks!
