[PATCH v2 2/2] log: allow users to follow a file

[René Neumann]

Awesome! Your patches work great over here. I'm so glad, I had not tried
to implement this myself :)

I also think this is reasonable. When running into this issue, you
usually already know what you are doing, so one might be surprised but
not lost.
