While I prefer using neither "--Log" nor "--+Log", the latter
is valid syntax and used in the real world:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/security/tor-devel/files/tor.in?view=markup#l41

For details see:

In the ElectroBSD version of the port I recently went with the
mentioned "specify all log files in the torrc" strategy ...
