post-diluvian shells

Is there any shell which maintains an at-all-sensible command history when you're working with several terminals each with half a dozen sessions in tabs? Intercalating the history from multiple sessions would probably be ideal for my current working style; appending the history from each session as a lump when the session closes would also be fine; but at the moment tcsh seems to maintain history for at most one session, randomly-selected, and this makes 'history' less than useful if I actually want to work out what I've been doing.

APPEND_HISTORY or
INC_APPEND_HISTORY or even
