Could we please have "None of the above" here ;-)?  Just kidding.

Is there a reason why this particular out-of-tree script was singled out,
and no other goodies are listed?

Which version was that?  v1.5.6?  v1.6.0?  I think you would want to
explicitly say v1.6.0 (mid Aug 2008), and it might even make sense to link
to a list of changes since then (relnotes to 1.6.[123], at least, but
perhaps more condensed).

I see you dropped "How did you hear about git" from the questionaire.  It
was a good way to spot which response was from Linus who answered "I wrote
it" to the question ;-).
