Andrew's point looks rather sensible to me.  So, this stuff should
have a predictable name (pg_upgrade.log, pg_upgrade_log or upgrade_log
would be fine).  But I would also add an option to be able to define a
custom log path.  The latter would be useful for the regression tests
so as everything gets could get redirected to a path already filtered
out.
