log is a useless tag (as is logs), but looking at the questions it does not seem to be safe simply to make this a synonym of transaction-log.
A good number (perhaps most) of the questions should be ...

Revisiting upsert vs merge
I'd be inclined towards the latter - keep the tags as specific as possible.
