216611104 MDExOlB1bGxSZXF1ZXN0MTEyMzY1ODc0 1322 Shorter repr for attributes 12229877 closed 0     6 2017-03-24T00:26:26Z 2017-04-03T00:50:28Z 2017-04-03T00:47:45Z CONTRIBUTOR   0 pydata/xarray/pulls/1322

NetCDF files often have tens of attributes, including multi-paragraph summaries or the full modification history of the file. It's great to have this available in the .attrs, but we can truncate it substantially in the repr! Hopefully this will stop people writing data.attrs = {} and discarding metadata in interactive workflows for the sake of cleaner output.
