Description
We have hundreds of runs:

Many of these have tensorboard.dev links:

(I have 83 tensorboard.dev links total.)
Right now, there's no way to know which logdir a given tensorboard.dev link originated from. For example, https://tensorboard.dev/experiment/hajDPiVGTRylalOYfo73lg/#scalars
I think tensorboard dev upload should track --logdir by default, and display it in tensorboard dev list.
One concern is privacy: Would the user be upset if tensorboard dev automatically tracked the logdir?
It's hard to predict what users might get upset about. But speaking as someone who's used tensorboard.dev for months: if tensorboard.dev worked this way from the beginning, we would have gotten a lot more value out of it. (We'd be able to know exactly where all of our old models are, for example.)
Right now I find myself copying the logdir to the --description field anyway. But this is a hack; the logdir is a separate piece of information.
