[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] Command history and Command buffer editing

[Keith J Outwater]

James - 
I applied this patch when you first sent it out to my local development 
sources
and had no problems.  I really like the added functionality.

I would definitely vote for adding it.

A suggestion:  How about modifying things so that only unique commands get 
added
to the history?  In other words, if I type 'printenv' two consecutive 
times,
only add the command once to the history buffer.
