[Bug 981537] [NEW] bash doesn't record in .bash_history when comand has an space before

[Javier Domingo]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

I don't have intention to make it be fixed (it is interesting to not
have it reflected in bash_history), just to be documented.

if you run for example " ssh localhost" with no quotes and having that
space at beggining, you wont be able to put it again by using arrow
keys, nor will appear in your .bash_history.

It is a petition to be documented such function, I think it is an
interesting feature.
