It does, but most people already have a .bash_history (and the ownership
won't change), so that's not a problem in practice in my experience...
(While I've had to chown plenty of .emacs/.emacs.d files in my time.)
I'm not saying we should change anything here, really -- but it's a
problem in practice that other editors, like vim, isn't as prone to
being affected by.
