[ANNOUNCE] Git User's Survey 2010

[ANNOUNCE] Git User's Survey 2010

[Jakub Narebski]

Hi!

Git is distributed version control system, created for Linux kernel 
development by Linus Torvalds after many kernel developers were forced 
to give up access to the proprietary BitKeeper system.  Maintainership
of Git was soon passed to Junio C Hamano.  Nowadays Git is used by many
various projects, among others X.Org, Android, OLPC, WINE, VLC, Ceph,
GCC, GNU autotools, GNU core utils.  Chances are, if you are Linux
kernel developer, you are using Git.

We would like to ask you a few questions about your use of the Git
version control system.  This survey is mainly to understand who is
using Git, how and why.  It would be interesting to hear how Git is
used by Linux kernel developers.

The results will be published to the Git Wiki on the GitSurvey2010
page (https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GitSurvey2010) and
discussed on the git mailing list (git@vger.kernel.org).


The survey would be open from 1 September till 15 October 2010.


Please devote a few minutes of your time to fill this simple
questionnaire, it will help a lot the git community to understand your
needs, what you like of Git, and of course what you don't like  of it.

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/154986
It is also announced on Git Homepage (http://git-scm.com) and on
http://git.kernel.org

Thanks for all your work on this, I already filled out my copy.

I also took the liberty of posting it to HN and reddit:

Where is the question about the stage feature that you said would be included?
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/150728

Also:
13. Which git hosting site(s) do you use for your project(s)?
I think it's missing "Company internal".

I am very sorry, I have forgot to re-check git mailing list archives
for what I have to improve in the survey.

Well, there is always "other, please specify".

I've waited years to find an answer :(

Yeap, that's what I did, but I think many people would specify that.
