Subject: bug#35769: Local .bash_history cleared when tramp-histfile-override is set to t
Date: Thu, 16 May 2019 21:11:33 -0400

Emacs 26.1, Linux
When I have this
(setq tramp-histfile-override t)
and use tramp to open a remote directory via scp, the *local*
~/.bash_history is wiped out (i.e. it becomes an empty file). I don't
think that is the desired behavior for this setting.

Thanks for looking into it.
