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.

extensions.*::
Unless otherwise stated, is an error to specify an extension if
`core.repositoryFormatVersion` is not `1`. See
linkgit:gitrepository-layout[5].
+
--
compatObjectFormat::
Specify a compatibility hash algorithm to use. The acceptable values
are `sha1` and `sha256`. The value specified must be different from the
value of `extensions.objectFormat`. This allows client level
interoperability between git repositories whose objectFormat matches
this compatObjectFormat. In particular when fully implemented the
pushes and pulls from a repository in whose objectFormat matches
compatObjectFormat. As well as being able to use oids encoded in
compatObjectFormat in addition to oids encoded with objectFormat to
locally specify objects.
noop::
This extension does not change git's behavior at all. It is useful only
for testing format-1 compatibility.
+
For historical reasons, this extension is respected regardless of the
`core.repositoryFormatVersion` setting.
noop-v1::
This extension does not change git's behavior at all. It is useful only
for testing format-1 compatibility.
objectFormat::
Specify the hash algorithm to use. The acceptable values are `sha1` and
`sha256`. If not specified, `sha1` is assumed.
+
Note that this setting should only be set by linkgit:git-init[1] or
linkgit:git-clone[1]. Trying to change it after initialization will not
work and will produce hard-to-diagnose issues.
partialClone::
When enabled, indicates that the repo was created with a partial clone
(or later performed a partial fetch) and that the remote may have
omitted sending certain unwanted objects. Such a remote is called a
"promisor remote" and it promises that all such omitted objects can
be fetched from it in the future.
+
The value of this key is the name of the promisor remote.
+
For historical reasons, this extension is respected regardless of the
`core.repositoryFormatVersion` setting.
preciousObjects::
If enabled, indicates that objects in the repository MUST NOT be deleted
(e.g., by `git-prune` or `git repack -d`).
+
For historical reasons, this extension is respected regardless of the
`core.repositoryFormatVersion` setting.
refStorage::
Specify the ref storage format to use. The acceptable values are:
+
include::../ref-storage-format.adoc[]
+
Note that this setting should only be set by linkgit:git-init[1] or
linkgit:git-clone[1]. Trying to change it after initialization will not
work and will produce hard-to-diagnose issues.
relativeWorktrees::
If enabled, indicates at least one worktree has been linked with
relative paths. Automatically set if a worktree has been created or
repaired with either the `--relative-paths` option or with the
`worktree.useRelativePaths` config set to `true`.
worktreeConfig::
If enabled, then worktrees will load config settings from the
`$GIT_DIR/config.worktree` file in addition to the
`$GIT_COMMON_DIR/config` file. Note that `$GIT_COMMON_DIR` and
`$GIT_DIR` are the same for the main working tree, while other
working trees have `$GIT_DIR` equal to
`$GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/<id>/`. The settings in the
`config.worktree` file will override settings from any other
config files.
+
When enabling this extension, you must be careful to move
certain values from the common config file to the main working tree's
`config.worktree` file, if present:
+
* `core.worktree` must be moved from `$GIT_COMMON_DIR/config` to
`$GIT_COMMON_DIR/config.worktree`.
* If `core.bare` is true, then it must be moved from `$GIT_COMMON_DIR/config`
to `$GIT_COMMON_DIR/config.worktree`.
+
It may also be beneficial to adjust the locations of `core.sparseCheckout`
and `core.sparseCheckoutCone` depending on your desire for customizable
sparse-checkout settings for each worktree. By default, the `git
sparse-checkout` builtin enables this extension, assigns
these config values on a per-worktree basis, and uses the
`$GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout` file to specify the sparsity for each
worktree independently. See linkgit:git-sparse-checkout[1] for more
details.
+
For historical reasons, this extension is respected regardless of the
`core.repositoryFormatVersion` setting.
