Make it possible to choose whether or not to watch configuration files specified \
                using the "log4net.Config" appsetting key 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


                 Key: LOG4NET-246
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-246
             Project: Log4net
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 1.2.10
            Reporter: Uri Goldstein
            Priority: Minor


Currently (v1.2.10) it is possible to specify a configuration file for log4net by \
adding a key like this in the host application's configuration <appSettings> section: \
<add key="log4net.Config" value="Log.config" />

This defaults to invoking XmlConfigurator.Configure() on the file specified \
(log4net/Core/DefaultRepositorySelector.cs,  line 725). This means the file is not \
watched for changes during program run time.

It would be nice if there was some way similar to the above <appSettings> key to \
specify whether log4net should watch the file or not.

I might propose that a new key is introduced in this fashion:
<add key="log4net.Config.Watch" value="true" />

This key would denote a bool value defaulting to false. The value would only be taken \
into consideration if the "log4net.Config" key is specified.
