9) On which operating system(s) do you use Git?

On Unix-based operating system you can get the name of operation
system by running 'uname'.

I find it interesting to compare the answers to this question against 
previous years' surveys:

=============================================================
Operating system            | 2009 [%] | 2008 [%] | 2007 [%]
-------------------------------------------------------------
Linux                       |      88% |      86% |      90%
MacOS X (Darwin)            |      44% |      47% |      15%
MS Windows/Cygwin           |       9% |      10% |      >3%?
MS Windows/msysGit (MINGW)  |      21% |      16% |      >0%?
............................|..........|..........|..........
MS Windows (any)            |      27% |     <26%?|       9%

Although several of these numbers are probably inaccurate, and
assuming that the responses on this question is representative,
we see a stabilizing trend in Git's user base, at least when
looking at Linux vs. MacOS. Windows seems to be growing steadily,
and it's good to see that the msysGit portion is outgrowing the
Cygwin portion.

Thanks to Dscho and all the others that make msysGit better
every day!


Have fun! :)
