Subject: [PATCH] Merge pull request #1362 from minrk/truncate_history_log

Don't log complete contents of history replies, even in debug

This changes the debug message to include only the length of the history reply, rather than its entire contents, which gets huge, and is an impediment to the legibility of debugging output.
