The per-directory history you can do with a shell function that wraps `cd'.

The umask is a per-process attribute.  If you want to source a file in each directory that has one, you can set the umask there, too.

Hello,

I'd like to suggest to enable per directory features. For example, I'd love to have per-dorectory history; so I can, for example, in a certain directory, have a history file available.

Also, per directory umask would be awesome.

Maybe have bash read a .bashrc file and, if it finds it, have it apply those features?

These would be very useful in a case like:

SysAdmin adds a webdev group and adds usera and userb to it. They work on /srv/www and they need to have a 002 umask there, in order to maintain file permissions and be able to work together.

Now, usera has a lot of management commands; which he repeats all the time. He uses git and it would be useful to have per-directory history so he can easily sort out the commands he uses ofteh.

Userb has been working on her own projects and needs help from usera. She asks him to cover for her today and tells him to check  the history of her projects; located in /srv/www/userb.

-- end of example --

Just an example of how useful these two settings would be in a shared server environment. I am sure there're more settings that would be cool to have in a per-directory basis.
