   04. Which programming languages you are proficient with?
       (The choices include programming languages used by git)
       (zero or more: multiple choice)
     - C, shell, Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk
     + (should we include other languages, like C++, Java, PHP,
        Ruby,...?)

The idea is, I think, to know what languages people could contribute
to Git; see analysis of this question at GitSurvey2007 page on git wiki:
  http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitSurvey2007#head-ecb5564d71e4093e2e93e508380407a26dbcbdea

Oha, is this a Git User's Survey or a Git Potential Contributor's Survey?
I thought this is some kind of demographic question about the "programming
background" of the user.

And of course "I am not programmer" response...

This doesn't make sense, does it?
I know that there are non-programmer's who use git for there
configuration files and other non-programming track files, but
this looks somehow wrong in this survey.

there are non-programmers who use git to track projects that they want to 
be able to run the latest versions of. they don't program, just git pull; 
make;make install
