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 v1.7.4.1 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.7.4
------------------
* On Windows platform, the codepath to spawn a new child process forgot
to first flush the output buffer.
* "git bundle" did not use OFS_DELTA encoding, making its output a few
per-cent larger than necessarily.
* The option to tell "git clone" to recurse into the submodules was
misspelled with an underscore "--recurse_submodules".
* "git diff --cached HEAD" before the first commit does what an end user
would expect (namely, show what would be committed without further "git
add").
* "git fast-import" didn't accept the command to ask for "notes" feature
to be present in its input stream, even though it was capable of the
feature.
* "git fsck" gave up scanning loose object files in directories with
garbage files.
And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
