Well, it started with bug#17295, which set remote $HISTFILE to
"/dev/null". Released with Emacs 24.4.

Then there were bug reports 19731, 21697 and 23041, which reported a bash
bug when setting this. So the new defcustom `tramp-histfile-override'
was introduced in Emacs 25.1.

With bug#20446, Glenn reported a new problem with the previous fix. His
bash history was nuked. So I've committed another fix, also for Emacs 25.1.

And now we have bug#24478, also purely due to a remote bash. Given this
history, a fix shall go to Emacs 25.2.

And I pray, that this will be the final fix. Likely it won't help, I'm a
nonbeliever.
