>          Components: Documentation

> http://sling.apache.org/site/logging.html  -> Scheduled Rotation 
> States:
>     For example, if the log file is configured as /foo/bar.log and the pattern set to '.'yyyy-MM-dd, on 2001-02-16 at midnight, the logging file /foo/bar.log 
>     will be copied to /foo/bar.log.2001-02-16  and logging for 2001-02-17 will continue in /foo/bar.log until it rolls over the next day.
> Taken literally this means that:
>     - the content of /foo/bar.log is copied (ie duplicated; original stays in /foo/bar.log, copy made in /foo/bar.log.2001-02-16)
>     - logging continues in /foo/bar.log after each copy is made (ie this file keeps growing)
> No mention is made of emptying /foo/bar.log.
> I assume that at some point (in this example daily) the /foo/bar.log is emptied, so is:
>     - /foo/bar.log moved to /foo/bar.log.2001-02-16 and a new /foo/bar.log created?
> or
>     - /foo/bar.log copied to /foo/bar.log.2001-02-16, then that content deleted from /foo/bar.log?
> If the actual mechanics are not required then the simplest might be to replace "copied" with "moved" in the current statement.
