#3293: bridgedb backs up assignments.log file but has no rotation strategy

 The bridgedb user has this cron tab line:
 {{{
 @hourly rsync -e 'ssh -i .ssh/id_sync_assign' -av run/assignments.log
 bridges at xxx:assignments> /dev/null
 }}}

 But if assignments.log gets huge, we'll want to mv it somewhere and
 compress it, like I did today.

 Then the next time bridgedb appends to assignments.log, the cron will blow
 away all the lines in the backup version of the file.
