I have therefore added the following multiple-choice question:

#19. What git workflow(s) is used by projects in which development you
participate?

If we want to have an idea of which workflows are the most commonly
used, just a binary answer may be insufficient. We can't distinguish
between "X% people use workflow W all the time", and "X% people use
workflow W from time to time".

The problem is that those workflows are used by _projects_ not _people_,

Yes, but people are usually involved in multiple projects. Someone
involved in 10 different distributed projects and sometimes contributing
to 1 centralized would count 1 for each.

,
True.  So responses wouldn't tell us the full story.

But first, never/rarely/sometimes/often/always doesn't fit IMHO here.

Second, the situation is more complicated: one can be actively involved
in 1 distributed project with 200+ contributors via Gerrit, often contribute
to 1 centralized project with 15-25 contributors, and rarely interact with
distributed project using "blessed" repository workflow where number
of contributors range from few to few hundred.  Too complicated for
survey IMHO.

Third, no other in matrix form.
