I just took a look at this, and it was a bug/unintentional change.  I'm
changing it back for 6.8.2.

However, the -Condorlog argument to DAGMan is almost obsolete (things
wouldn't have worked right otherwise!) and it's pretty dangerous to rely
on this -- that argument may go away entirely at some time in the future.

So I'd say that things will work for you in 6.8.2, but you should probably
move away from relying on -Condorlog for the medium term.
