I use a dot-file in the directory, but you need to be careful with this
--- at least check you own the file before using it for extracting
commands or anything of that kind.  You can easily search backward for a
file of the same name in a parent directory if you have EXTENDED_GLOB
set: (../)#.thatdotfilename which will allow you to put in the top level
of a repository.

In particular, I have a local history file that's searched for commands
if they match a certain pattern.  Integration with the main history file
sort of works but isn't as seamless as I'd like.
