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 2.37.2 Release Notes
========================
This primarily is to backport various fixes accumulated on the 'master'
front since 2.37.1.
Fixes since v2.37.1
-------------------
* "git shortlog -n" relied on the underlying qsort() to be stable,
which shouldn't have. Fixed.
* Variable quoting fix in the vimdiff driver of "git mergetool".
* An earlier attempt to plug leaks placed a clean-up label to jump to
at a bogus place, which as been corrected.
* Fixes a long-standing corner case bug around directory renames in
the merge-ort strategy.
* Recent update to vimdiff layout code has been made more robust
against different end-user vim settings.
* In a non-bare repository, the behavior of Git when the
core.worktree configuration variable points at a directory that has
a repository as its subdirectory, regressed in Git 2.27 days.
* References to commands-to-be-typed-literally in "git rebase"
documentation mark-up have been corrected.
* Give _() markings to fatal/warning/usage: labels that are shown in
front of these messages.
* "git mktree --missing" lazily fetched objects that are missing from
the local object store, which was totally unnecessary for the purpose
of creating the tree object(s) from its input.
* Fixes for tests when the source directory has unusual characters in
its path, e.g. whitespaces, double-quotes, etc.
* Adjust technical/bitmap-format to be formatted by AsciiDoc, and
add some missing information to the documentation.
* Certain diff options are currently ignored when combined-diff is
shown; mark them as incompatible with the feature.
* "git clone" from a repository with some ref whose HEAD is unborn
did not set the HEAD in the resulting repository correctly, which
has been corrected.
* mkstemp() emulation on Windows has been improved.
* Add missing documentation for "include" and "includeIf" features in
"git config" file format, which incidentally teaches the command
line completion to include them in its offerings.
* Avoid "white/black-list" in documentation and code comments.
* Workaround for a compiler warning against use of die() in
osx-keychain (in contrib/).
* Workaround for a false positive compiler warning.
* The resolve-undo information in the index was not protected against
GC, which has been corrected.
* A corner case bug where lazily fetching objects from a promisor
remote resulted in infinite recursion has been corrected.
* "git p4" working on UTF-16 files on Windows did not implement
CRLF-to-LF conversion correctly, which has been corrected.
* "git p4" did not handle non-ASCII client name well, which has been
corrected.
* "rerere-train" script (in contrib/) used to honor commit.gpgSign
while recreating the throw-away merges.
* "git checkout" miscounted the paths it updated, which has been
corrected.
* Fix for a bug that makes write-tree to fail to write out a
non-existent index as a tree, introduced in 2.37.
* There was a bug in the codepath to upgrade generation information
in commit-graph from v1 to v2 format, which has been corrected.
Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
