Vs code git bash integrated terminal always forgets it's history after re-open

[chtenb]

I would reopen #37273 but I can't due to site restrictions.
This is still a problem and the subsequent comments in the thread are not addressed.

VSCode Version: latest 64bit
OS Version: win 10

Steps to Reproduce:

• Use git bash as terminal
• Open git bash and type ls
• open vs code, type some other command (in the integrated terminal)
• close vs code and open again
• do arrow/cursor up. (in the integrated terminal)
• The command shown is ls (history from git bash instead of git bash from vs code session).

It seems that git bash needs to be closed properly before vscode exits: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10488498/bash-history-does-not-update-in-git-for-windows-git-bash
Can we implement this?

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Thanks for the link, I don't think we can run exit as the SO link suggests, but maybe there's some other signal?

The history -a workaround seems good.

The history -a workaround seems good.

That works indeed, but it means that every git bash user has to do the research and implement this workaround. It would be nice if we could provide expected behavior out of the box.
