While it could be quite straighforward to design survey engine which uses git as backend for storing survey schema (the structure of survey, including questions and choices), I don't think that git as backend would work for storing answers, if it were to be possible to (re)edit own answers.

And of course there is problem with *hosting* a survey app...
