How can I change path to log files in Julia?

I have changed $JULIA_DEPOT_PATH (which is ~/.julia by default) to a custom location, and the external packages are indeed installed into that location. However, log files (history, in particular) are still written to ~/.julia/logs/repl_history.jl, which creates problems if Julia is installed in an NFS directory used by multiple machines:

ERROR: Invalid history file (~/.julia/logs/repl_history.jl) format:
If you have a history file left over from an older version of Julia,
try renaming or deleting it.
Invalid character: '\0' at line 31

How can one force Julia to use $JULIA_DEPOT_PATH/logs for log files instead of the default ~/.julia/logs?

Thank you for your help!
