Hmmm, never mind, I seem to have magically got my history back!

When I first tried after my laptop crashed, I wasn't getting anything
in shell history...tried with "up arrow"  and also the "history"
command (which listed only 4 prior commands). Somehow when I opened
another shell after a while, all my previous history started showing
again. Almost like it recovered a previous version of it.

Long live mystical powers of fish-shell!
