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 -- >8 -- > > What you think of GIT > > > > 1.

That reminds me to spellcheck the survey before posting/creating it. -- Jakub Narebski Poland
