A writeup about GSoC 2022 projects would be nice in this edition, as we couldn't have one in the previous one.
It is a pity that there was no detailed writeup about the contents of Git Merge 2022 in previous edition. I could only find slides for two presentations, but no blog posts:
- Git Internals: A Database Perspective by Derrick Stolee, covered by the series of articles mentioned in edition 90
- Git at GitHub Scale by Taylor Blau
When Git Merge was in Europe, there were videos from the conference posted some time after it on YouTube. Not so now; the latest playlist I could find on YouTube is from Git Merge 2019. It's a pity.
@jnareb maybe they didn't post the videos of the Git Merge 2020 because of the Covid that changed a lot of their plans, and maybe they will post those of the Git Merge 2022 after a few months as they did before 2020.
@ttaylorr do you know if GitHub plans to post the Git Merge 2022 videos? Also are some slides available?
I could only find slides for two presentations, but no blog posts:
@derrickstolee wrote a handful of blog posts which comprised his talk:
- https://github.blog/2022-08-29-gits-database-internals-i-packed-object-store/
- https://github.blog/2022-08-30-gits-database-internals-ii-commit-history-queries/
- https://github.blog/2022-08-31-gits-database-internals-iii-file-history-queries/
- https://github.blog/2022-09-01-gits-database-internals-iv-distributed-synchronization/
- https://github.blog/2022-09-02-gits-database-internals-v-scalability/
and I wrote one that was published recently (and one that was published last year) which comprised my talk:
- https://github.blog/2021-04-29-scaling-monorepo-maintenance/
- https://github.blog/2022-09-13-scaling-gits-garbage-collection/
I know that Elijah Newren has also written a number of blog posts on merge-ort (which provide a more technical look at the content in his talk).

@jnareb found the slides for my talk on my website, I'm not sure if other speakers plan to post their slides or not. We did not record any videos in 2020, but we did this year, and will post them on GitHub's YouTube channel in the coming weeks.

They got these links in the previous Rev News.
@jnareb here is the announce about the talk videos from Git Merge 2022 being now available:

In the Gitaly team at GitLab we have started writing Git related blog posts to let more people know about Git features that are a bit advanced:
- https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2022/10/06/take-advantage-of-git-rebase/
- https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2022/09/06/speed-up-your-monorepo-workflow-in-git/
My blog post appeared on the front page of Hacker News.

Actually Dscho sent a PR, that I just merged, about it:
https://github.com/git/git.github.io/pull/605
I have added my links in f962fec.
I forgot to add links from @chriscool (from the Gitaly team at GitLab); for the second article about monorepo I would like to add links to related articles from GitHub recently published in Rev News.
I am also wondering about adding only tangentially related article, namely Sledgeworx Code Review Handbook.
@jnareb thanks for your links!
I see no problem with you adding all the articles you talk about related to monorepos and code review.
I think we should also regularly add something about Review Club:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/[email protected]/
About Review Club, maybe it could be in a new optional __Agenda__ sub section after the __Git tools and sites__ section? Ideas welcome.

__Agenda__sub section after the__Git tools and sites__section? Ideas welcome.
We have __Events__ section (not always present)... though the problem with the Review Club on Wednesday, 26 October 2022, is that this Git Rev News would be not ready and published before the event.
A writeup about GSoC 2022 projects would be nice in this edition, as we couldn't have one in the previous one.
Just a gentle reminder that we shouldn't miss to include this in the edition.

I thought of helping a bit and added these articles to the current edition via PR #611.

Thanks @ttaylorr for the information and for the link suggestions even if we had already published them! Thanks @derrickstolee for answering about the suggestions!

Maybe worth inclusion in the 'other reading' section?

Thank you for your suggestions, @PhilipOakley .
This was mentioned in ...
Thanks for catching my oversights. Apologies for not spotting.
@PhilipOakley not a problem. Thanks for your suggestion anyway.
It is not easy to spot if something was already mentioned in some past Git Rev News or not. I use git grep inside clone of this repository; you can also search via GitHub web interface (search "in this repository") but it is in my opinion more cumbersome and slower.
Thanks @PhilipOakley and @jnareb for the suggested links and for checking them respectively!
Supplied some fixes and rephrasings in 027a91e . As usual, feel free to scrutinize them ...
