   11. Why did you choose Git? (if you use Git)
       What do you like about using Git?
       (free form, not to be tabulated)

Again, to avoid hassles with free-form:

	Mandatory: work, mandatory: open source project I am participating 
	in, speed, scalability, It's What Linus Uses, Other.

If we move away from free-form, it should be much more choices here.

- Ability to work offline
- Cryptographic authentication of history.

Cryptographically strong integrity check.  There is no authentication.

- Distributed development (pull/push from/to more than one remote repo)
- Easy to extend functionality through scripting
- Efficient storage model
- Elegant design
- Fast
- Good community support
- Rewriting patches before publishing (git rebase, commit --amend)
- Scalability (Efficient handling of large projects)
- Strong support for non-linear development
- Support of wide range of protocols for synchronization.
...

Yeah, I would tick all of them, too.

Ciao,
