These operations are \noften critical to product development, so your input will be highly valuable \nto the engineering community.\n\nWith Git's growing popularity and unique branching/merging models, we want to \nensure feedback from its users are well represented in the data.\n\nIf you are willing to contribute, please respond to this short survey: \nhttp://ucalgary-cpsc.branchmerge.sgizmo.com/s3/. The survey is anonymous, \ncontains 16 questions, and will take 3-8 minutes to complete.\n\nThank you for your assistance,\n\nShaun Phillips\nDepartment of Computer Science\nUniversity of Calgary\n"}]}
