Limit the size of wakatime.log file

[YouKnow-sys]

seems like this file can get as big as it want, for example if you have Wakatime installed for some time if go to %USERPROFILE%\.wakatime in windows you can see a log file named wakatime.log, the thing is seems like this file don't have any limit on how big it can get... I mean the biggest that it got in my system is more then 400MB, its just too much for a log file...
I recommend putting some kind of cap on the log file size or maybe even do some kind of rotating...

@alanhamlett wdyt? Should we keep only x lines or x size?

[alanhamlett]

Yea we should limit it's size. My wakatime.log file is 2.2M right now. @YouKnow-sys curious if you have debug mode enabled? That would cause the log to grow faster than normal.

What's a good size to cap it at? How about 100M? After that we rotate the log to wakatime.log.N and delete log files with N > 4.

I didn't change any settings related to my wakatime installation, is it on debug by default?
And I think 50MB for each log file would be better (still big but more manageable)
The reason that I recommend 50MB is, it's easier to share if needed, uploading 100MB just to share the log isn't very convenient.

No, it's off by default.

50MB sounds good to me
