I got really occupied this month. So, I wasn't able to get around to finding a person to interview. Sorry for the delayed note.

I'll be sure to find someone for the next month's edition. I'm open to suggestions for interviewing if anyone has someone in mind 🙂.

@sivaraam no worries! I have been very busy too. And that's in fact why I postponed publication to Thursday 27th instead of Wednesday 26th.

In 0c8a356, I made a small correction to the relative time of a referenced e-mail.

My links have landed in 28d7512

I see that there is git-mv: improve error message for conflicted file reviewed.
I have found few more discussions that can be interesting:

• Compressing packed-refs, with reftables proposed as long-term solution, and various ideas on how to reduce the size of packed-refs - but no definitive conclusion
• [PATCH] setup: warn about un-enabled extensions, about interaction between extensions.* setting and core.repositoryFormatVersion
• How can I search git log with ceratin keyword but without the other keyword?, a support story with nice explanation of line-level vs document-level match
• Avoiding 'master' nomenclature, starting with a bit of rant by Linus Torvalds about removed functionality (Git used to skip 'into master' noise in the commit message when merging into default branch 'master')

Thanks @jnareb and @sivaraam!

@jnareb I am having a vacation and won't have time for more articles, but thanks for the suggestions. Maybe I can use them for next edition.
