"Git Bash here" is not preserving bash history between sessions

I am running Git-1.8.0-preview20121022 on Windows 7 and the install was with "Git Bash Only" (least intrusive to Windows cmd).

When I open the Git Bash from the start menu shortcut, everything is fine with the history.

But when the Git Bash here context menu (either the git-cheetah shell extension one or the simpler registry one) is what launched a session, the commands from that session are not saved to the .bash_history.

How could figure out why this is happening? Or better yet, does someone know how to fix this?

Solution

You should be able to fix this by adding this line to your ~/.bash_profile

PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a'
