Not having needed history, I certainly didn't know about it. I have used the 
"leaves" plugin, and like many things in Linux it may do what you tell it and 
not what you meant. However, in general that does what you want, and is easier 
to use but less selective than history. Particularly if history has rolled on 
since the change of interest.

Glad you found multiple ways to address the problem.
