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 v1.7.7.1 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.7.7
------------------
* On some BSD systems, adding +s bit on directories is detrimental
(it is not necessary on BSD to begin with). "git init --shared"
has been updated to take this into account without extra makefile
settings on platforms the Makefile knows about.
* After incorrectly written third-party tools store a tag object in
HEAD, git diagnosed it as a repository corruption and refused to
proceed in order to avoid spreading the damage. We now gracefully
recover from such a situation by pretending as if the commit that
is pointed at by the tag were in HEAD.
* "git apply --whitespace=error" did not bother to report the exact
line number in the patch that introduced new blank lines at the end
of the file.
* "git apply --index" did not check corrupted patch.
* "git checkout $tree $directory/" resurrected paths locally removed or
modified only in the working tree in $directory/ that did not appear
in $directory of the given $tree. They should have been kept intact.
* "git diff $tree $path" used to apply the pathspec at the output stage,
reading the whole tree, wasting resources.
* The code to check for updated submodules during a "git fetch" of the
superproject had an unnecessary quadratic loop.
* "git fetch" from a large bundle did not enable the progress output.
* When "git fsck --lost-and-found" found that an empty blob object in the
object store is unreachable, it incorrectly reported an error after
writing the lost blob out successfully.
* "git filter-branch" did not refresh the index before checking that the
working tree was clean.
* "git grep $tree" when run with multiple threads had an unsafe access to
the object database that should have been protected with mutex.
* The "--ancestry-path" option to "git log" and friends misbehaved in a
history with complex criss-cross merges and showed an uninteresting
side history as well.
* Test t1304 assumed LOGNAME is always set, which may not be true on
some systems.
* Tests with --valgrind failed to find "mergetool" scriptlets.
* "git patch-id" miscomputed the patch-id in a patch that has a line longer
than 1kB.
* When an "exec" insn failed after modifying the index and/or the working
tree during "rebase -i", we now check and warn that the changes need to
be cleaned up.
