I think demographic is largely covered by the first question about
country. As to i18n, I don't think it is fully covered just by the
question about one's language preference to communicate with computer
(which is probably is more correctly to call localization). Possible
questions related to i18n are:
- Do you use file names with non-ASCII characters?
- Do you use text files with non-ASCII characters?
- Do you (or members of your team) use computers with different
  character sets and have to deal with non-ASCII characters?

But I guess we do not want to have so many questions. So, maybe
something simple instead:
- Are you satisfied with support for non-ASCII characters in Git?

I think we already have another question about what OS one uses.
So I believe it should be only version number here.

I would rather use numbers like that:

never
less than month
1-3 months
3-6 months
6-12 months
1-2 year
more than 2 years
from the beginning
