server restarts on change in logs/

[thatkookooguy]

My folder structure is:

<app_name>
  logs/
  server/
  public/
  server.js
  gulpfile.js
  bower.json
  package.json

And my gulp file is setup as follows:

var FILES = {};
FILES.FRONTEND_JS = ['./public/app/**/*.js'];
FILES.FRONTEND_HTML = ['./public/app/**/*.html'];
FILES.FRONTEND_SASS = ['./public/assets/sass/**/*.scss'];
FILES.FRONTEND_ALL = [].concat(FILES.FRONTEND_JS, FILES.FRONTEND_HTML, FILES.FRONTEND_SASS);
FILES.SERVER_JS = ['./server/**/*.js', './server.js', './config.js'];
FILES.BUILD_FILES = ['./gulpfile.js'];
FILES.JS_ALL = [].concat(FILES.FRONTEND_JS, FILES.SERVER_JS);

gulp.task('watch', [ 'serve' ], function() {
    function restart( file ) {
        server.changed( function( error ) {
            if( ! error ) {
                reloadBrowser('Backend file changed.', file.path);
            }
        });
    }

    function reloadBrowser( message, path ) {
        gutil.log(message ? message : 'Something changed.', gutil.colors.bgBlue.white.bold('Reloading browser...'));
        livereload.changed( path );
    }

    gulp.watch(FILES.JS_ALL, ['lint-js']);
    gulp.watch(FILES.FRONTEND_SASS, ['styles']);
    gulp.watch(FILES.SERVER_JS).on( 'change', restart );
    gulp.watch(FILES.FRONTEND_ALL).on( 'change', function(file) {reloadBrowser('Frontend file changed.', file.path);} );
});

Even though non of the gulp.watch calls that I do should reload (by liveReload which is managed by gulp-develop-server) since the logs/ folder isn't present in those paths, I get the following reload:

[21:12:55] Development server was stopped. (PID:6600)
[21:12:55] Development server already received restart requests.
[21:12:55] Backend file changed. Reloading browser...
[21:12:55] ...\<app_name>\logs reloaded.

why should it reload on any change in logs/?

I'm currently testing this on a windows 10 machine. I'll check if the same happens on ubuntu and os x.
