Please, change bash option "HISTCONTROL" to "ignoreboth" to get rid of mc subshell commands in .bash_history!

Bug Description

The default value of the bash option "HISTCONTROL" in Dapper Drake is "ignoredups". However, this turns out to be quite annoying for users of mc since its subshell commands get stored in ~/.bash_history. Changing the corresponding line in ~/.bashrc to "export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth" solves this issue. Couldn't the latter be made default in future Ubuntu releases?

Cheers!
