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 v1.8.0.2 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.8.0.1
--------------------
* Various codepaths have workaround for a common misconfiguration to
spell "UTF-8" as "utf8", but it was not used uniformly. Most
notably, mailinfo (which is used by "git am") lacked this support.
* We failed to mention a file without any content change but whose
permission bit was modified, or (worse yet) a new file without any
content in the "git diff --stat" output.
* When "--stat-count" hides a diffstat for binary contents, the total
number of added and removed lines at the bottom was computed
incorrectly.
* When "--stat-count" hides a diffstat for unmerged paths, the total
number of affected files at the bottom of the "diff --stat" output
was computed incorrectly.
* "diff --shortstat" miscounted the total number of affected files
when there were unmerged paths.
* "git p4" used to try expanding malformed "$keyword$" that spans
across multiple lines.
* "git update-ref -d --deref SYM" to delete a ref through a symbolic
ref that points to it did not remove it correctly.
* Syntax highlighting in "gitweb" was not quite working.
Also contains other minor fixes and documentation updates.
