It has thousands of files in it and is about 50GB in size. +Yesterday I added a number of new files, and I also created a new "removable drive" repository for it to sync to. + +During these operations I could see a large amount of data being added to the git-annex log files. +I left my computer on overnight to finish the sync. + +Today I went to check the log files but there was no useful information in them. + +Looking at the source I suspect I had a single log file > 1 Megabyte in size, which caused the rotation to occur repeatedly until it rolled off the end. +However, I would have preferred if this large logfile had been kept for more than a couple of hours. + +See file contents below + +### What steps will reproduce the problem? + +See above + +### What version of git-annex are you using?
