The mintty --log option is very useful but opens logfile without O_TRUNC

I would suggest to add O_APPEND.
I'll ponder that. The original intention was O_TRUNC.
Ideally it could be made user-selectable.
Agree, e.g. "--log +FILE" appends to FILE:
client.c:
// Open log file if any
if (*cfg.log) {
if (cfg.log[0] == '+' && cfg.log[1])
log_fd = open(cfg.log+1, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_APPEND, 0600);
else
log_fd = open(cfg.log, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, 0600);
if (log_fd < 0)
error("open log file");
}
Thanks,
Christian
