Description

When installing (or updating!) the log4net nuget package it either:

• Adds an app.config file if none exists
• Transforms the app.config file if one exists.

And it does this to all the projects that you apply the package to (as always with nuget).

This is incredibly annoying because then I have to manually delete the config files or revert the transformations.

The common practice for nuget-packaging is to not perform zero transforms or content-type additions and instead supply a link in the description of the package to a tutorial for those that don's know how to get started.
