It means that whenever a page is saved, any history older than
30 days is removed from the page.

See http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/EditVariables#DiffKeepDays
and http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PageHistory .

If you want to immediately expire history from pages, take
a look at http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/ExpireDiff .
