Description

The log files that Gitea writes to get rolled over nicely. Unfortuately, the serv.log file does not get rolled over. The file just keeps on growing and will eventually cause disk space issues.
Please include this file to the ones that get rolled over.

serv.log http.log and the hook logs need some more thought.

Currently they're completely unconfigurable and I'm not entirely certain what they're supposed to log.

However, having them not rotate by default certainly seems like a mistake.

OK, so they're created by a call to setup(...) from here:

5df5bfbd13/cmd/serv.go (L67-L72)

Which calls this:

5df5bfbd13/modules/log/log.go (L77-L86)

So basically changing that last line will make it rotate.
