FYI, I've completed the survey summary (except Q13, repo size, which I
don't know how to handle it. And there was no Q14 in GitSurveyData).
You may be interested in Q20 and Q31.
Some thought after completing this summary:
 - Documentation is still most wanted (as a comprehensive book or
examples/use-cases). There were many answers indicated that users
didn't know about existing git features. We should advertise git
features more.
 - Git homepage and Git wiki (and sometimes git mailing list) are
unknown to many users. Perhaps we should put them in git.7 man page?
 - Plumbings/Porcelains confustion. Is it about time to move all git-*
into /usr/lib/git? Also some probably wants to integrate cogito into
git.
 - A place to post bugs and feature requests (if bugzilla is too big,
maybe mantis?)
 - (This comment is mine) Git should ship NEWS file in release
tarballs. An auto generated ChangeLog in tarballs is also great (maybe
make git-changelog to generate the changelog)
