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

What do I need to do to have this patch reviewed by log4net contributers and integrated?

> Currently (v1.2.10) it is possible to specify a configuration file for log4net by adding a key like this in the host application's configuration <appSettings> section:
> <add key="log4net.Config" value="Log.config" />
> This defaults to invoking XmlConfigurator.Configure() on the file specified (log4net/Core/DefaultRepositorySelector.cs,  line 725). This means the file is not watched for changes during program run time.
> It would be nice if there was some way similar to the above <appSettings> key to specify whether log4net should watch the file or not.
> I might propose that a new key is introduced in this fashion:
> <add key="log4net.Config.Watch" value="true" />
> This key would denote a bool value defaulting to false. The value would only be taken into consideration if the "log4net.Config" key is specified.
