“[I]t will help the Git community a lot to understand your needs, what you like about Git, and of course what you don’t like about it.” (quoted from here) Git User’s Survey 2011

Are you Using Git? Have you taken the Git User Survey 2010 already?

When switching between branches with different sets of .py files it can easily happen that code containing broken imports is slipping through unnoticed.
