RenameUtil not truncating file if delete fails during rollover
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LBCORE-166
                 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-166
             Project: logback-core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Rolling
    Affects Versions: 0.9.24
         Environment: Microsoft Windows XP SP2
OAS 10.1.3.4
Java 1.5.0_14
            Reporter: Jose David Barrio
            Assignee: Logback dev list
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: RenameUtil.patch

When using logback under Windows over Oracle Application Server, if you redeploy the web application, the log file is keep open by some reason so when a new rollover happens it fails to rename the log file.

Currently RenameUtil does:
- Try to rename log file.
- If rename fails then rename by copy (copy plus delete).

If for some reason deletion fails the log file keeps all its content so I just added a truncate if deletion fails:
- Try to rename log file.
- If rename fails then rename by copy (copy plus delete).
- If delete fails then truncate file.

I do have a patch file if it's useful.
