Bash Version: 4.2
Patch Level: 46
Release Status: release

Description:
	when you edit a line from your bash history, history shows the edited version, even if you never ran it
	ewriting history is generally considered bad in most contexts, and i found this to be counter intuitive and can't think of why anyone would want it this way

Repeat-By:
	echo a b^M^P^W^Necho ^Y
	shows echo a and echo b in your history, even though you ran echo a b   and echo b, never echo a
