Public bug reported:

There's a really high change that (verbose) commands exceed 8192 lines
out output and a very small chance that a high multiple (e.g.
8192*8192=67108864) causes any disadvantage. I think that setting a
limit is already problematic - imagine running `btrfs check` for some
hours and figuring out that most of you output is lost (might even be a
problem with a scrollback limit of 67108864). Even a `~/.bash_history`
of 50 MB shouldn't be a problem regarding average HDD size, btrfs
compression and the ability to set `HISTSIZE` and `HISTFILESIZE`.
