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.

NAME
----
git-diagnose - Generate a zip archive of diagnostic information
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git diagnose' [(-o | --output-directory) <path>] [(-s | --suffix) <format>]
[--mode=<mode>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Collects detailed information about the user's machine, Git client, and
repository state and packages that information into a zip archive. The
generated archive can then, for example, be shared with the Git mailing list to
help debug an issue or serve as a reference for independent debugging.
By default, the following information is captured in the archive:
* 'git version --build-options'
* The path to the repository root
* The available disk space on the filesystem
* The name and size of each packfile, including those in alternate object
stores
* The total count of loose objects, as well as counts broken down by
`.git/objects` subdirectory
Additional information can be collected by selecting a different diagnostic mode
using the `--mode` option.
This tool differs from linkgit:git-bugreport[1] in that it collects much more
detailed information with a greater focus on reporting the size and data shape
of repository contents.
OPTIONS
-------
-o <path>::
--output-directory <path>::
Place the resulting diagnostics archive in `<path>` instead of the
current directory.
-s <format>::
--suffix <format>::
Specify an alternate suffix for the diagnostics archive name, to create
a file named 'git-diagnostics-<formatted-suffix>'. This should take the
form of a strftime(3) format string; the current local time will be
used.
--mode=(stats|all)::
Specify the type of diagnostics that should be collected. The default behavior
of 'git diagnose' is equivalent to `--mode=stats`.
+
The `--mode=all` option collects everything included in `--mode=stats`, as well
as copies of `.git`, `.git/hooks`, `.git/info`, `.git/logs`, and
`.git/objects/info` directories. This additional information may be sensitive,
as it can be used to reconstruct the full contents of the diagnosed repository.
Users should exercise caution when sharing an archive generated with
`--mode=all`.
