[jira] [Created] (LOG4NET-487) Control mutex type

NN created LOG4NET-487:
--------------------------

             Summary: Control mutex type
                 Key: LOG4NET-487
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-487
             Project: Log4net
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Appenders
    Affects Versions: 1.2.14, 1.3.0
            Reporter: NN


The only missing feature is an option for choosing Local (per session) or Global (per machine) mutex.
The current code just uses the filename for mutex which good but it always makes a local one, so if you have two sessions you cannot synchronize them.
Default is Local for backward compatibility.

See Note in: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.threading.mutex%28v=vs.110%29.aspx 
I think it can be an option like

<RollingMutexType value="Global" /> 
or something like that.

It also applies to FileAppender mutex .
<LockingModel InterProcessLock>
  <LockingMutexType value="Global" />
</..>

See issue #485 for reference.
