6 months is a very long time for this though. I imagine that I would almost never want local history past a day or two. Beyond that I would look to my version control system.

Of course if the data is small why not keep it.

I do think there should be a default expiry but I’ve absolutely went back many many months and found old versions of files in cases I didn’t have proper commits.
