------------------------------------

             Summary: TimeBasedRollingPolicy should append as configured on rollover
                 Key: LOGCXX-464
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-464
             Project: Log4cxx
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Appender
    Affects Versions: 0.10.0
         Environment: Win32, Linux
            Reporter: Martijn Buijs


I'm using log4cxx 0.10.0 configured through xml to use a RollingFileAppender that rolls/triggers using a TimeBasedRollingPolicy.
* The append property on the RollingFileAppender  is true.
* The FileNamePattern of the TimeBasedRollingPolicy is set to use the following pattern: {code}%d{yyyyMMdd.HH}.log{code}

This setup I use in an embedded system that is not directly connected to the internet and has no battery powered rtc. This means that the system time is always 1970-01-01 01:00:00 at boot, normally time is synchronized by the user after boot.

In this case the following situation can occur:
# Current time is 2016-04-05 15:20:00, my application is logging to {code}20160405.15.log{code}
# User restarts the system, time is now 1970-01-01 01:00, my application starts at boot and starts logging to {code}19700101.01.log{code}
# User synchronizes time to 2016-04-05 15:25:00. Now the application truncates {code}20160405.15.log{code} and start writing logs to it.
