As others have posted, if the process is well-behaved, you should be able to rename the file then send it a SIGHUP and it should start using a new file. You might have to create the new log file using something like "touch" first, though.
If that doesn't work, the application is broken. Assuming you have an uptime requirement, the failure of the application to properly handle log files is causing it to fail to meet its uptime requirement. Make the developer fix it.
Because it's broke.
Just because the developer didn't THINK about the impact of of failing to manage log files doesn't mean it's OK to fail like that.

DESCRIPTION
The XML filter is an output filter for displaying log messages in XML format. The organization of the XML format should be self-
explanatory after a little experimentation. The format is designed to be compatible with Subversion's XML output, so you should be able to
use tools like <http://ch.tudelft.nl/~arthur/svn2cl/> without any modification. However, since SVK supports arbitary log filters (see
SVK::Log::Filter for details on writing one), it may be easier to write your own output format than to process the XML.
This filter is invoked implicitly when you specify the "--xml" argument to SVK's log command. Two arguments to the log command modify
XML's behavior.
quiet
Providing this command-line option to the log command prevents the XML filter from displaying the contents of the log message. All other
information is displayed as usual.
verbose
Providing this command-line option to the log command makes the XML filter display history information for each revision. The history
includes the kind of modification (modify, add, delete) and any copy history for each path that was modified in the revision.
STASH
/PROPERTY MODIFICATIONS
XML leaves all properties and the stash intact.
