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 v1.7.6.4 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.7.6.3
--------------------
* The error reporting logic of "git am" when the command is fed a file
whose mail-storage format is unknown was fixed.
* "git branch --set-upstream @{-1} foo" did not expand @{-1} correctly.
* "git check-ref-format --print" used to parrot a candidate string that
began with a slash (e.g. /refs/heads/master) without stripping it, to make
the result a suitably normalized string the caller can append to "$GIT_DIR/".
* "git clone" failed to clone locally from a ".git" file that itself
is not a directory but is a pointer to one.
* "git clone" from a local repository that borrows from another
object store using a relative path in its objects/info/alternates
file did not adjust the alternates in the resulting repository.
* "git describe --dirty" did not refresh the index before checking the
state of the working tree files.
* "git ls-files ../$path" that is run from a subdirectory reported errors
incorrectly when there is no such path that matches the given pathspec.
* "git mergetool" could loop forever prompting when nothing can be read
from the standard input.
Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
