pg_xlog contains Postgres Write Ahead Logs (WAL, Postgres
implementation of transaction logging) files (normally 16MB in size,
each).
pg_clog contains the commit log files which contain transaction commit
status of a transaction. One main purpose is to perform a database
recovery in case of a crash by replaying these logs.
