 Replying to [comment:12 nickm]:

 "debug" by default? If so, merge_ready is ok

 While is true that in general logs should be by default "info" level, the
 "debug" level is configured only for logging to the file, it won't annoy
 the user with too many logs in stdout or syslog.

 I thought it was reasonable to use debug in the file, since we asked
 operators to change the level to debug in the very moment they reported
 there was a problem.

 The file gets rotated, so it won't take more space in the file system.
