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 v1.7.7.6 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.7.7.5
--------------------
* The code to look up attributes for paths reused entries from a wrong
directory when two paths in question are in adjacent directories and
the name of the one directory is a prefix of the other.
* A wildcard that matches deeper hierarchy given to the "diff-index" command,
e.g. "git diff-index HEAD -- '*.txt'", incorrectly reported additions of
matching files even when there is no change.
* When producing a "thin pack" (primarily used in bundles and smart
HTTP transfers) out of a fully packed repository, we unnecessarily
avoided sending recent objects as a delta against objects we know
the other side has.
Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
