 + Reasonably easy

 + Very hard

Or something like that, with separate question if DVCS is difficult
or not.

Alternatively we could ask about _relative_ ease of learning / use.
But I don't think this would go well (and I don't think we could get
good answers from that).

Related to that, would be whether the user was familiar with DVCS before
starting to use git, or even familiar with VCS - the answers would be different
for people for whom git is the first VCS they ever used, or for people having
used other DVCS before...

Relative ease of use of Git as compared to perceived ease of
distributed version control as generic subject.

But I don't think it is a good way to go (and get meaningfull
answers).

Well, Git User's Surveys always served more or less accidentally as
the source of information about git and git community ("we have wiki?"
from the first survey )

Count me in for "we have git new-worktree ?" :)
In fact, I found nothing by that name in git's tree or in the wiki's
InterfacesFrontendsAndTools.  Google finally pointed me to contrib/ where I
noticed workdir/git-new-workdir.

It may be worth to use a URL for publicizing non-mainstream stuff.  That's
better as publicizing goes, and makes it easy to crowdsource discovery of
mistakes or outdated things.

Hmmm... perhaps it would be worth to create GitContrib page on Git
Wiki, and link it from InterfacesFrontendsAndTools page...
