day taxiing/night flight vs night taxiing/day flight

In the early hours of the morning, if you taxi before first light but the wheels don't leave the ground until first light, this counts as a day flight and no NVFR rating is required, correct?

Similarly, if you land before last light but taxi after last light.

However, for the purposes of logging, if you have planned a night flight, but some of the taxiing occurs during the hours of daylight (but the entire flight time is during HN), can you log the entire chock-to-chock time as night hours, or do you log start time and end time and calculate day/night hours based on the instant of first/last light?
