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.
