Subject: 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.

+NAME
+----
+git-commit-graph - Write and verify Git commit-graph files
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git commit-graph verify' [--object-dir <dir>] [--shallow] [--[no-]progress]
+'git commit-graph write' [--object-dir <dir>] [--append]
+			[--split[=<strategy>]] [--reachable | --stdin-packs | --stdin-commits]
+			[--changed-paths] [--[no-]max-new-filters <n>] [--[no-]progress]
+			<split-options>
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+Manage the serialized commit-graph file.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+--object-dir::
+	Use given directory for the location of packfiles and commit-graph
+	file. This parameter exists to specify the location of an alternate
+	that only has the objects directory, not a full `.git` directory. The
+	commit-graph file is expected to be in the `<dir>/info` directory and
+	the packfiles are expected to be in `<dir>/pack`. If the directory
+	could not be made into an absolute path, or does not match any known
+	object directory, `git commit-graph ...` will exit with non-zero
+	status.
+
+--[no-]progress::
+	Turn progress on/off explicitly. If neither is specified, progress is
+	shown if standard error is connected to a terminal.
+
+COMMANDS
+--------
+'write'::
+
+Write a commit-graph file based on the commits found in packfiles. If
+the config option `core.commitGraph` is disabled, then this command will
+output a warning, then return success without writing a commit-graph file.
++
+With the `--stdin-packs` option, generate the new commit graph by
+walking objects only in the specified pack-indexes. (Cannot be combined
+with `--stdin-commits` or `--reachable`.)
++
+With the `--stdin-commits` option, generate the new commit graph by
+walking commits starting at the commits specified in stdin as a list
+of OIDs in hex, one OID per line. OIDs that resolve to non-commits
+(either directly, or by peeling tags) are silently ignored. OIDs that
+are malformed, or do not exist generate an error. (Cannot be combined
+with `--stdin-packs` or `--reachable`.)
++
+With the `--reachable` option, generate the new commit graph by walking
+commits starting at all refs. (Cannot be combined with `--stdin-commits`
+or `--stdin-packs`.)
++
+With the `--append` option, include all commits that are present in the
+existing commit-graph file.
++
+With the `--changed-paths` option, compute and write information about the
+paths changed between a commit and its first parent. This operation can
+take a while on large repositories. It provides significant performance gains
+for getting history of a directory or a file with `git log -- <path>`. If
+this option is given, future commit-graph writes will automatically assume
+that this option was intended. Use `--no-changed-paths` to stop storing this
+data.
++
+With the `--max-new-filters=<n>` option, generate at most `n` new Bloom
+filters (if `--changed-paths` is specified). If `n` is `-1`, no limit is
+enforced. Only commits present in the new layer count against this
+limit. To retroactively compute Bloom filters over earlier layers, it is
+advised to use `--split=replace`.  Overrides the `commitGraph.maxNewFilters`
+configuration.
++
+With the `--split[=<strategy>]` option, write the commit-graph as a
+chain of multiple commit-graph files stored in
+`<dir>/info/commit-graphs`. Commit-graph layers are merged based on the
+strategy and other splitting options. The new commits not already in the
+commit-graph are added in a new "tip" file. This file is merged with the
+existing file if the following merge conditions are met:
++
+* If `--split=no-merge` is specified, a merge is never performed, and
+the remaining options are ignored. `--split=replace` overwrites the
+existing chain with a new one. A bare `--split` defers to the remaining
+options. (Note that merging a chain of commit graphs replaces the
+existing chain with a length-1 chain where the first and only
+incremental holds the entire graph).
++
+* If `--size-multiple=<X>` is not specified, let `X` equal 2. If the new
+tip file would have `N` commits and the previous tip has `M` commits and
+`X` times `N` is greater than  `M`, instead merge the two files into a
+single file.
++
+* If `--max-commits=<M>` is specified with `M` a positive integer, and the
+new tip file would have more than `M` commits, then instead merge the new
+tip with the previous tip.
++
+Finally, if `--expire-time=<datetime>` is not specified, let `datetime`
+be the current time. After writing the split commit-graph, delete all
+unused commit-graph whose modified times are older than `datetime`.
+
+'verify'::
+
+Read the commit-graph file and verify its contents against the object
+database. Used to check for corrupted data.
++
+With the `--shallow` option, only check the tip commit-graph file in
+a chain of split commit-graphs.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+* Write a commit-graph file for the packed commits in your local `.git`
+  directory.
++
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git commit-graph write
+------------------------------------------------
+
+* Write a commit-graph file, extending the current commit-graph file
+  using commits in `<pack-index>`.
++
+------------------------------------------------
+$ echo <pack-index> | git commit-graph write --stdin-packs
+------------------------------------------------
+
+* Write a commit-graph file containing all reachable commits.
++
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git show-ref -s | git commit-graph write --stdin-commits
+------------------------------------------------
+
+* Write a commit-graph file containing all commits in the current
+  commit-graph file along with those reachable from `HEAD`.
++
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git rev-parse HEAD | git commit-graph write --stdin-commits --append
