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 1.8.1.6 Release Notes
=========================
Fixes since v1.8.1.5
--------------------
* An earlier change to the attribute system introduced at v1.8.1.2 by
mistake stopped a pattern "dir" (without trailing slash) from
matching a directory "dir" (it only wanted to allow pattern "dir/"
to also match).
* The code to keep track of what directory names are known to Git on
platforms with case insensitive filesystems can get confused upon a
hash collision between these pathnames and looped forever.
* When the "--prefix" option is used to "checkout-index", the code
did not pick the correct output filter based on the attribute
setting.
* Annotated tags outside refs/tags/ hierarchy were not advertised
correctly to the ls-remote and fetch with recent version of Git.
* The logic used by "git diff -M --stat" to shorten the names of
files before and after a rename did not work correctly when the
common prefix and suffix between the two filenames overlapped.
* "git update-index -h" did not do the usual "-h(elp)" thing.
* perl/Git.pm::cat_blob slurped everything in core only to write it
out to a file descriptor, which was not a very smart thing to do.
* The SSL peer verification done by "git imap-send" did not ask for
Server Name Indication (RFC 4366), failing to connect SSL/TLS
sites that serve multiple hostnames on a single IP.
* "git bundle verify" did not say "records a complete history" for a
bundle that does not have any prerequisites.
Also contains various documentation fixes.
