#2362: get-text always reports Log entry
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  atagar     |       Owner:     
     Type:  defect     |      Status:  new
 Priority:  minor      |   Milestone:     
Component:  Tor Relay  |     Version:     
 Keywords:             |      Parent:     
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 Repro steps:
 - use a blank torrc (just setting the ControlPort)
 - run tor
 - issue a GETINFO get-text

 result: it provides a 'Log notice stdout' entry
 expected: we should only get back entries that differ from their defaults
 (in this case only the ControlPort)

 from irc:
 15:03 < armadev> atagar: it is a tor bug, i believe. i just reproduced.
 15:03 < atagar> ok, I'll file a ticket - thanks :)
 15:04 < armadev>     if (smartlist_len(elts) == 0)
 15:04 < armadev>       smartlist_add(elts, tor_strdup("stdout"));
 15:04 < armadev> in options_init_logs()
 15:04 < armadev> that's where it comes from. we add it if there are no
 other logs.
 15:04 < armadev> hmmmm. no, i take that back.
 15:05 < armadev>   /* Special case on first boot if no Log options are
 given. */
 15:05 < armadev>   if (!options->Logs && !options->RunAsDaemon &&
 !from_setconf)
 15:05 < armadev>     config_line_append(&options->Logs, "Log", "notice
 stdout");
 15:05 < armadev> there we go.
