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 v1.7.9.1 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.7.9
------------------
* The makefile allowed environment variable X seep into it result in
command names suffixed with unnecessary strings.
* The set of included header files in compat/inet-{ntop,pton}
wrappers was updated for Windows some time ago, but in a way that
broke Solaris build.
* rpmbuild noticed an unpackaged but installed *.mo file and failed.
* Subprocesses spawned from various git programs were often left running
to completion even when the top-level process was killed.
* "git add -e" learned not to show a diff for an otherwise unmodified
submodule that only has uncommitted local changes in the patch
prepared by for the user to edit.
* Typo in "git branch --edit-description my-tpoic" was not diagnosed.
* Using "git grep -l/-L" together with options -W or --break may not
make much sense as the output is to only count the number of hits
and there is no place for file breaks, but the latter options made
"-l/-L" to miscount the hits.
* "git log --first-parent $pathspec" did not stay on the first parent
chain and veered into side branch from which the whole change to the
specified paths came.
* "git merge --no-edit $tag" failed to honor the --no-edit option.
* "git merge --ff-only $tag" failed because it cannot record the
required mergetag without creating a merge, but this is so common
operation for branch that is used _only_ to follow the upstream, so
it was changed to allow fast-forwarding without recording the mergetag.
* "git mergetool" now gives an empty file as the common base version
to the backend when dealing with the "both sides added, differently"
case.
* "git push -q" was not sufficiently quiet.
* When "git push" fails to update any refs, the client side did not
report an error correctly to the end user.
* "rebase" and "commit --amend" failed to work on commits with ancient
timestamps near year 1970.
* When asking for a tag to be pulled, "request-pull" did not show the
name of the tag prefixed with "tags/", which would have helped older
clients.
* "git submodule add $path" forgot to recompute the name to be stored
in .gitmodules when the submodule at $path was once added to the
superproject and already initialized.
* Many small corner case bugs on "git tag -n" was corrected.
Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
