Description

Consider this configuration, with V 1.2.11 or trunk:

<file value="log.log" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<rollingStyle value="Composite" />
<datePattern value=".yyyyMMdd-HHmm" />
<staticLogFileName value="true" />
<preserveLogFileNameExtension value="true" />

• Start an application (a verbose one, preferably) with it.

• Kill it immediately.
  Log directory now looks like this
  —
  log.log
  —

• Wait until we are in another minute

• Start application again

• Kill it immediately
  Log directory now looks like this
  —
  log.log
  log.log.20130122-2042
  —

Didn't we say we want to preserveLogFileNameExtension?
Shouldn't the file name of the file rolled over be "log.20130122-2042.log"?
If the application weren't killed and restarted in another period,
everything were correct.

This happens when rolling over an old log file from a previous run upon application start. The line of this patch fixes it.
