Mercurial and word files

Did you hear my wife screaming after realizing that her word file (she was
working on it since a long time) was lost forever ? And of course no backup
were ever done ?

Ok, now that I have a private mercurial server I can reach by simple http, I
was thinking about using it as a remote backup server - I know that rsync
may be a better solution, but Mercurial can do versioning.... and my wife
tipical pattern usage is to create a file, a couple of edits and no even
opening it again before one year (they are classworks....)

My idea is to create a small batch file (or wsh) that addremoves all .doc
files, do a commit -m "(date/hour)" then a push.....

What do you think about it ?
