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 v1.6.4.4 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.6.4.4
--------------------
* The workaround for Github server that sometimes gave 500 (Internal server
error) response to HEAD requests in 1.6.4.3 introduced a regression that
caused re-fetching projects over http to segfault in certain cases due
to uninitialized pointer being freed.
* "git pull" on an unborn branch used to consider anything in the work
tree and the index discardable.
* "git diff -b/w" did not work well on the incomplete line at the end of
the file, due to an incorrect hashing of lines in the low-level xdiff
routines.
* "git checkout-index --prefix=$somewhere" used to work when $somewhere is
a symbolic link to a directory elsewhere, but v1.6.4.2 broke it.
* "git unpack-objects --strict", invoked when receive.fsckobjects
configuration is set in the receiving repository of "git push", did not
properly check the objects, especially the submodule links, it received.
Other minor documentation updates are included.
