Well, it is meant to be Git _USER'S_ Survey.  The rest of questions
wouldn't have much sense if responder is not familiar with Git.

But I'd like to add the following questions about foreign SCM/VCS to the survey:

-- >8 -- Other SCMs

    1. What other SCM did/do you use?
    2. What other SCM do you use as a main SCM for your project
       instead of git, if any? Why?
    *  example: Mercurial, better MS Windows support
    3. Do your git repository interact with other SCM? Or what SCM
       did you import from? What tool did/do you use?
    *  examples: CVS, import fromcvs, interaction git-cvsserver;
		 Subversion, git-svn

Thanks. That reminds me to spellcheck the survey before posting/creating it.
