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 v1.7.0.1 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.7.0
------------------
* In a freshly created repository "rev-parse HEAD^0" complained that
it is dangling symref, even though "rev-parse HEAD" didn't.
* "git show :no-such-name" tried to access the index without bounds
check, leading to a potential segfault.
* Message from "git cherry-pick" was harder to read and use than necessary
when it stopped due to conflicting changes.
* We referred to ".git/refs/" throughout the documentation when we
meant to talk about abstract notion of "ref namespace". Because
people's repositories often have packed refs these days, this was
confusing.
* "git diff --output=/path/that/cannot/be/written" did not correctly
error out.
* "git grep -e -pattern-that-begin-with-dash paths..." could not be
spelled as "git grep -- -pattern-that-begin-with-dash paths..." which
would be a GNU way to use "--" as "end of options".
* "git grep" compiled with threading support tried to access an
uninitialized mutex on boxes with a single CPU.
* "git stash pop -q --index" failed because the unnecessary --index
option was propagated to "git stash drop" that is internally run at the
end.
And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
