### Please describe the problem.
I have a large git-annex repository created using the assistant. 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? On what operating system?
Debian Wheezy, git-annex version: 5.20140210~bpo70+2 from wheezy-backports
### Please provide any additional information below.
[[!format sh """
# If you can, paste a complete transcript of the problem occurring here.
# If the problem is with the git-annex assistant, paste in .git/annex/daemon.log
When I look at the log files now, I see the following:
-rw-r--r-- 1 pgl users 443 Mar 5 21:48 daemon.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 pgl users 443 Mar 5 21:47 daemon.log.1
