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 v1.5.4.5 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.4.4
--------------------
* "git fetch there" when the URL information came from the Cogito style
branches/there file did not update refs/heads/there (regression in
1.5.4).
* Bogus refspec configuration such as "remote.there.fetch = =" were not
detected as errors (regression in 1.5.4).
* You couldn't specify a custom editor whose path contains a whitespace
via GIT_EDITOR (and core.editor).
* The subdirectory filter to "git filter-branch" mishandled a history
where the subdirectory becomes empty and then later becomes non-empty.
* "git shortlog" gave an empty line if the original commit message was
malformed (e.g. a botched import from foreign SCM). Now it finds the
first non-empty line and uses it for better information.
* When the user fails to give a revision parameter to "git svn", an error
from the Perl interpreter was issued because the script lacked proper
error checking.
* After "git rebase" stopped due to conflicts, if the user played with
"git reset" and friends, "git rebase --abort" failed to go back to the
correct commit.
* Additional work trees prepared with git-new-workdir (in contrib/) did
not share git-svn metadata directory .git/svn with the original.
* "git-merge-recursive" did not mark addition of the same path with
different filemodes correctly as a conflict.
* "gitweb" gave malformed URL when pathinfo stype paths are in use.
* "-n" stands for "--no-tags" again for "git fetch".
* "git format-patch" did not detect the need to add 8-bit MIME header
when the user used format.header configuration.
* "rev~" revision specifier used to mean "rev", which was inconsistent
with how "rev^" worked. Now "rev~" is the same as "rev~1" (hence it
also is the same as "rev^1"), and "rev~0" is the same as "rev^0"
(i.e. it has to be a commit).
* "git quiltimport" did not grok empty lines, lines in "file -pNNN"
format to specify the prefix levels and lines with trailing comments.
* "git rebase -m" triggered pre-commit verification, which made
"rebase --continue" impossible.
As usual, it also comes with many documentation fixes and clarifications.
