brian m. carlson 1f010d6bdf doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc files
We presently use the ".txt" extension for our AsciiDoc files.  While not
wrong, most editors do not associate this extension with AsciiDoc,
meaning that contributors don't get automatic editor functionality that
could be useful, such as syntax highlighting and prose linting.

It is much more common to use the ".adoc" extension for AsciiDoc files,
since this helps editors automatically detect files and also allows
various forges to provide rich (HTML-like) rendering.  Let's do that
here, renaming all of the files and updating the includes where
relevant.  Adjust the various build scripts and makefiles to use the new
extension as well.

Note that this should not result in any user-visible changes to the
documentation.

GIT v1.5.2.5 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.2.4
--------------------
* Bugfixes
- "git add -u" had a serious data corruption problem in one
special case (when the changes to a subdirectory's files
consist only deletion of files).
- "git add -u <path>" did not work from a subdirectory.
- "git apply" left an empty directory after all its files are
renamed away.
- "git $anycmd foo/bar", when there is a file 'foo' in the
working tree, complained that "git $anycmd foo/bar --" form
should be used to disambiguate between revs and files,
which was completely bogus.
- "git checkout-index" and other commands that checks out
files to the work tree tried unlink(2) on directories,
which is a sane thing to do on sane systems, but not on
Solaris when you are root.
* Documentation Fixes and Updates
- A handful documentation fixes.
