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 v1.7.1 Release Notes
========================
Updates since v1.7.0
--------------------
* Eric Raymond is the maintainer of updated CIAbot scripts, in contrib/.
* gitk updates.
* Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively ask
for a password can be told to use an external program given via
GIT_ASKPASS.
* Conflict markers that lead the common ancestor in diff3-style output
now have a label, which hopefully would help third-party tools that
expect one.
* Comes with an updated bash-completion script.
* "git am" learned "--keep-cr" option to handle inputs that are
a mixture of changes to files with and without CRLF line endings.
* "git cvsimport" learned -R option to leave revision mapping between
CVS revisions and resulting git commits.
* "git diff --submodule" notices and describes dirty submodules.
* "git for-each-ref" learned %(symref), %(symref:short) and %(flag)
tokens.
* "git hash-object --stdin-paths" can take "--no-filters" option now.
* "git init" can be told to look at init.templatedir configuration
variable (obviously that has to come from either /etc/gitconfig or
$HOME/.gitconfig).
* "git grep" learned "--no-index" option, to search inside contents that
are not managed by git.
* "git grep" learned --color=auto/always/never.
* "git grep" learned to paint filename and line-number in colors.
* "git log -p --first-parent -m" shows one-parent diff for merge
commits, instead of showing combined diff.
* "git merge-file" learned to use custom conflict marker size and also
to use the "union merge" behaviour.
* "git notes" command has been rewritten in C and learned many commands
and features to help you carry notes forward across rebases and amends.
* "git request-pull" identifies the commit the request is relative to in
a more readable way.
* "git reset" learned "--keep" option that lets you discard commits
near the tip while preserving your local changes in a way similar
to how "git checkout branch" does.
* "git status" notices and describes dirty submodules.
* "git svn" should work better when interacting with repositories
with CRLF line endings.
* "git imap-send" learned to support CRAM-MD5 authentication.
* "gitweb" installation procedure can use "minified" js/css files
better.
* Various documentation updates.
Fixes since v1.7.0
------------------
All of the fixes in v1.7.0.X maintenance series are included in this
release, unless otherwise noted.
* "git add frotz/nitfol" did not complain when the entire frotz/ directory
was ignored.
* "git diff --stat" used "int" to count the size of differences,
which could result in overflowing.
* "git rev-list --pretty=oneline" didn't terminate a record with LF for
commits without any message.
* "git rev-list --abbrev-commit" defaulted to 40-byte abbreviations, unlike
newer tools in the git toolset.
