Hmmm... such question was removed from the survey, but perhaps we should re-introduce it, perhaps in tabularized (1 week, 1 month, few months, year, few years, 5 years or more) rather than free-form question?

Will fix. It will be "How do you compare the current _Git_ version with the version from one year ago?".

Putting it just after "21. Did you participate in previous Git User's Surveys?" probably just increased the confusion, even though below this question is description what changed in *Git* since year ago.
