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 v1.7.7.2 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.7.7.1
--------------------
* We used to drop error messages from libcurl on certain kinds of
errors.
* Error report from smart HTTP transport, when the connection was
broken in the middle of a transfer, showed a useless message on
a corrupt packet.
* "git fetch --prune" was unsafe when used with refspecs from the
command line.
* The attribute mechanism did not use case insensitive match when
core.ignorecase was set.
* "git bisect" did not notice when it failed to update the working tree
to the next commit to be tested.
* "git config --bool --get-regexp" failed to separate the variable name
and its value "true" when the variable is defined without "= true".
* "git remote rename $a $b" were not careful to match the remote name
against $a (i.e. source side of the remote nickname).
* "git mergetool" did not use its arguments as pathspec, but as a path to
the file that may not even have any conflict.
* "git diff --[num]stat" used to use the number of lines of context
different from the default, potentially giving different results from
"git diff | diffstat" and confusing the users.
* "git pull" and "git rebase" did not work well even when GIT_WORK_TREE is
set correctly with GIT_DIR if the current directory is outside the working
tree.
* "git send-email" did not honor the configured hostname when restarting
the HELO/EHLO exchange after switching TLS on.
* "gitweb" used to produce a non-working link while showing the contents
of a blob, when JavaScript actions are enabled.
