[ale] Rsync and renaming files

[Richard Bronosky]

Make sure bash is keeping a .bash_history. That file updates after you
exit bash cleanly, so make sure you exit with 'exit' or ctrl-D and not
by closing your terminal. After you do all of you mv commands, exit,
then open the .bash_history in a text editor, clean it up, save it
with the .sh extension, email it. Done.
