(Ab)using hg for data logging

Hi,

I am perhaps abusing hg here, but I am generating tons of log files which 
I want to keep in line with other files of my project.

Every time I commit the code also those concurrently generated data files 
get stored.

The question:
	Does hg take a snapshot of all files at the moment before the 
commit and does it work with that snapshot instead of the files how they 
look like a second after issueing "hg commit" command, or not???

If the latter is the case it would be advisable to pause the data 
generation until the "hg commit" command has finished...

Greets,
Marko
