Hi all,

We would like to ask you a few questions about your use of the Git
version control system. This survey is mainly to understand who is
using Git, how and why.

The results will be published to the Git wiki and discussed on the git
mailing list.

The survey would be open from 1 September till 10 October.

Please devote a few minutes of your time to fill this simple
questionnaire, it will help a lot the git community to understand your
needs, what you like of git, and of course what you don't like  of it.

The survey can be found here:

This got on Hacker News and got a few comments on the length of the
survey.  It did take me a pretty good amount of time to do.

I'm afraid the length and time required to fill it out will skew the
answers away from beginning type users, even though a lot of the
questions are aimed at them.

It may be a good idea next year to do an adaptive survey, where there
are a few of the basic questions that could be answered in a few
minutes and if the user is a beginner it stops there, if they are more
advanced, it asks more advanced questions. I would be happy to help
set this up if there is interest, whoever is in charge of this.

Well, the changes are saved even if you don't finish it, right?

So you can fill it in different sessions.

It's too long IMO. I gave up on it half way. Do you really need to know
the frequency of use of _each_ command? :(

Hi all,

Git User's Survey 2008 ended at the end of Monday, 13 October 2008,
around 23:45 CEST (GMT+0200).  

Could you then *take down* notice about Git User's Survey 2008,
and/or perhaps announce that it is closed?

Currently you can get there raw data (individual responses).  One can 
find there also to online analysis (on Survs.com) and beginnings of
