I disagree. Keep the whole history: * the whole history would bloat if had many revisions of binary files, but that's not the case, so it should not take much more space to keep the whole history. * Vim is not that big. At least it's much smaller than Linux where all history is kept in git. * The whole history is useful at least for bisections, or find out when a piece of code was changed and why.
