Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 dev with bash 4.3-11ubuntu1 and I'm noticing that after executing a command and closing the terminal the file ~/.bash_history will be created even if HISTFILESIZE is set to 0. I think it would be better to not create this file if HISTFILESIZE is set to 0 to keep the user directory more clean.
