[issue29093] Windows launcher breaks history in Git Bash

[Evan]

Evan added the comment:

I tried compiling the version of the launcher from https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/3.3, and the bug is still present there.

Previously when I was testing older versions with the launcher I had to uninstall pyreadline from several of them to confirm the bug was present. In retrospect it's obvious that this means the bug would have been hidden from me until now; I just happened to notice it after installing 3.6 because I hadn't installed pyreadline.

I now believe this affects *all* versions of the launcher, and that this has nothing to do with 3.6.0 in particular.
