(You can skip the stuff wrapping virtualenv, obviously.) Basically just define a function that does the write, set HISTFILE, read, and then elsewhere alias cd=mycd. If anyone gives it a try, I'd love to hear how it works! I think it needs some tweaks -- for example, multiple terminals in the same directory are probably clobbering each other -- looks like this 'shopt -s histappend' would help with that.
