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-upload-archive(1)
=====================
NAME
----
git-upload-archive - Send archive back to git-archive
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git upload-archive' <repository>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Invoked by 'git archive --remote' and sends a generated archive to the
other end over the Git protocol.
This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user. The UI
for the protocol is on the 'git archive' side, and the program pair
is meant to be used to get an archive from a remote repository.
SECURITY
--------
In order to protect the privacy of objects that have been removed from
history but may not yet have been pruned, `git-upload-archive` avoids
serving archives for commits and trees that are not reachable from the
repository's refs. However, because calculating object reachability is
computationally expensive, `git-upload-archive` implements a stricter
but easier-to-check set of rules:
1. Clients may request a commit or tree that is pointed to directly by
a ref. E.g., `git archive --remote=origin v1.0`.
2. Clients may request a sub-tree within a commit or tree using the
`ref:path` syntax. E.g., `git archive --remote=origin v1.0:Documentation`.
3. Clients may _not_ use other sha1 expressions, even if the end
result is reachable. E.g., neither a relative commit like `master^`
nor a literal sha1 like `abcd1234` is allowed, even if the result
is reachable from the refs.
Note that rule 3 disallows many cases that do not have any privacy
implications. These rules are subject to change in future versions of
git, and the server accessed by `git archive --remote` may or may not
follow these exact rules.
If the config option `uploadArchive.allowUnreachable` is true, these
rules are ignored, and clients may use arbitrary sha1 expressions.
This is useful if you do not care about the privacy of unreachable
objects, or if your object database is already publicly available for
access via non-smart-http.
