btrfs-progs: Documentaion: rename to .asciidoc
A few minor benefits: * editors set highliting according to the extensions * web access to the git repository (github) renders the .asciidoc files: * we can link to them from the wiki * the files are editable via browser and such editations can be submitted for merge easily Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.cz>

+================
+
+NAME
+----
+btrfs-receive - receive subvolumes from stdin/file.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*btrfs receive* [-ve] [-f <infile>] [--max-errors <N>] <mount>
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Receives one or more subvolumes that were previously
+sent with *btrfs send*. The received subvolumes are stored
+into <mount>.
+
+*btrfs receive* will fail with the following case:
+
+1. a receiving subvolume already exists.
+
+2. a previously received subvolume was changed after it was received.
+
+3. default subvolume is changed or you don't mount btrfs filesystem with
+fs tree.
+
+After receiving a subvolume, it is immediately set to read only.
+
+`Options`
+
+-v::
+Enable verbose debug output. Each occurrence of this option increases the
+verbose level more.
+-f <infile>::
+By default, btrfs receive uses stdin to receive the subvolumes.
+Use this option to specify a file to use instead.
+-e::
+Terminate after receiving an <end cmd> in the data stream.
+Without this option, the receiver terminates only if an error is recognized
+or on EOF.
+--max-errors <N>::
+Terminate as soon as N errors happened while processing commands from the send
+stream. Default value is 1. A value of 0 means no limit.
+
+EXIT STATUS
+-----------
+*btrfs receive* returns a zero exit status if it succeeds. Non zero is
+returned in case of failure.
+
+AVAILABILITY
+------------
+*btrfs* is part of btrfs-progs.
+Please refer to the btrfs wiki http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org for
+further details.
