2025-01-21doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc filesbrian m. carlson1-111/+0
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. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2022-08-04docs: move protocol-related docs to man section 5Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+1
Continue the move of existing Documentation/technical/* protocol and file-format documentation into our main documentation space. By moving the things that discuss the protocol we can properly link from e.g. lsrefs.unborn and protocol.version documentation to a manpage we build by default. So far we have been using the "gitformat-" prefix for the documentation we've been moving over from Documentation/technical/*, but for protocol documentation let's use "gitprotocol-*".

2022-08-04git docs: add a category for file formats, protocols and interfacesÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+111
Create a new "File formats, protocols and other developer interfaces" section in the main "git help git" manual page and start moving the documentation that now lives in "Documentation/technical/*.git" over to it. This complements the newly added and adjacent "Repository, command and file interfaces" section. This makes the technical documentation more accessible and discoverable. Before this we wouldn't install it by default, and had no ability to build man page versions of them. The links to them from our existing documentation link to the generated HTML version of these docs. So let's start moving those over, starting with just the "bundle-format.txt" documentation added in 7378ec90e1c (doc: describe Git bundle format, 2020-02-07). We'll now have a new gitformat-bundle(5) man page. Subsequent commits will move more git internal format documentation over. Unfortunately the syntax of the current Documentation/technical/*.txt is not the same (when it comes to section headings etc.) as our Documentation/*.txt documentation, so change the relevant bits of syntax as we're moving this over.
