"exec" replaces the current shell with the new command. Its history is
lost. If you don't use "exec" you should be able to still access its
history.

I don't see this in stable. Here's a transcript:
lindi@sauna:~$ sh ## I start a new subshell
sh-3.2$ exec false ## I 'exec' a command that always fails
lindi@sauna:~$ sh ## I have hit up, it surely does not show false in history.
