What [channel(s)] do you use to request/get help about Git [(if any)] It may also be useful to ask how people hear news about git, such as when a new release comes out. Not sure if worth a separate question, as there is a lot of crossover in the resources available for this and for requesting help, but knowing this information would help us understand what kinds of users are responding and which communication channels are effective for git news. Related, it might be worth asking how often people upgrade their git clients and servers, particularly in corporate/managed environments. This question would ask two things, how long after a new release comes out do you install it, and do you install every update that comes out or do you skip versions. I suspect many would just use whatever is released in their distro and update at the same time as they update other packages, but it would be interesting to know if people, for example, only upgrade their managed environments every year/6 months or something to avoid introducing changes to their users.
