+Subject: [PATCH 16/15] oxenstored: trim history in the frequent_ops function
+
+We were trimming the history of commits only at the end of each
+transaction (regardless of how it ended).
+
+Therefore if non-transactional writes were being made but no
+transactions were being ended, the history would grow
+indefinitely. Now we trim the history at regular intervals.
+
