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 v1.6.4.3 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.6.4.2
--------------------
* "git clone" from an empty repository gave unnecessary error message,
even though it did everything else correctly.
* "git cvsserver" invoked git commands via "git-foo" style, which has long
been deprecated.
* "git fetch" and "git clone" had an extra sanity check to verify the
presence of the corresponding *.pack file before downloading *.idx
file by issuing a HEAD request. Github server however sometimes
gave 500 (Internal server error) response to HEAD even if a GET
request for *.pack file to the same URL would have succeeded, and broke
clone over HTTP from some of their repositories. As a workaround, this
verification has been removed (as it is not absolutely necessary).
* "git grep" did not like relative pathname to refer outside the current
directory when run from a subdirectory.
* an error message from "git push" was formatted in a very ugly way.
* "git svn" did not quote the subversion user name correctly when
running its author-prog helper program.
Other minor documentation updates are included.
