Bug#635984: Please provide a way to disable persistent netrw history

[Josh Triplett]

Package: vim
Version: 2:7.3.154+hg~74503f6ee649-2+b1
Severity: normal

Every time I open a directory in vim, I end up with a file
~/.vim/.netrwhist .  I'd like to disable that persistent history, but as
far as I can tell vim doesn't provide an option to do so.
