I'm not sure exactly how you could create files but for changing
content, you can override the putcommit method in the sink class, we
did it for the obfuscate extension (https://bitbucket.org/octobus/hg-ob
fuscate/overview):

https://bitbucket.org/octobus/hg-obfuscate/src/97c517ba56d56fcc11a1a310
700d50f267282f24/hgext3rd/obfuscate.py?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-
default#obfuscate.py-352:389

For creating files, you might need to customize the getchanges method
in your source class.
