How would you propose such question would look like, and what proposed
answers would be (if it were not a free-text / essay question)?

Note that there might be a problem of severe bias: people who heard
about Git User's Survey 2016 are probably ones that watch news about Git.
Still, it would be useful to know if people read RelNotes...

That is, if people have a pattern to their upgrade of Git, and can
tell how often they upgrade.

XX. How often you upgrade Git?
    (multiple choice or single choice?)

 * as soon as new version is released
 * when there is new binary package / distribution package
 * when updating distribution / system
 * around every month, or more often
 * around every 6 months or more often
 * I use what is installed on system

Something like that?
