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 v1.7.5.1 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.7.5
------------------
* When an object "$tree:$path" does not exist, if $path does exist in the
subtree of $tree that corresponds to the subdirectory the user is in,
git now suggests using "$tree:./$path" in addition to the advice to use
the full path from the root of the working tree.
* The "--date=relative" output format used to say "X years, 12 months"
when it should have said "X+1 years".
* The smart-HTTP transfer was broken in 1.7.5 when the client needs
to issue a small POST (which uses content-length) and then a large
POST (which uses chunked) back to back.
* "git clean" used to fail on an empty directory that is not readable,
even though rmdir(2) could remove such a directory. Now we attempt it
as the last resort.
* The "--dirstat" option of "diff" family of commands used to totally
ignore a change that only rearranged lines within a file. Such a
change now counts as at least a minimum but non zero change.
* The "--dirstat" option of "diff" family of commands used to use the
pathname in the original, instead of the pathname in the result,
when renames are involved.
* "git pack-object" did not take core.bigfilethreashold into account
(unlike fast-import); now it does.
* "git reflog" ignored options like "--format=.." on the command line.
* "git stash apply" used to refuse to work if there was any change in
the working tree, even when the change did not overlap with the change
the stash recorded.
* "git stash apply @{99999}" was not diagnosed as an error, even when you
did not have that many stash entries.
* An error message from "git send-email" to diagnose a broken SMTP
connection configuration lacked a space between "hello=<smtp-domain>"
and "port=<smtp-server-port>".
And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
