I believe this is fixed in recent Tramp. As you have said, there isn't
any confirmation for more than a year, so I'm closing the bug.

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.
