Just forgot about the .viminfo entries pointing exactly at the .bash_history line numbers that were removed.

They always forget the backups, snapshots or shadow copies

I designed this storage infrastructure and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who knows how to nuke the snapshots.

Wow. How not to own mistakes. The only time I edited shared histories was because I mistakenly middle-clicked in a terminal and I had previously selected a (personal) text message.
