I see the FreeBSD mini-Git Primer in the November/December 2020 edition 
of the FreeBSD Journal 
<https://issue.freebsdfoundation.org/publication/?i=690210&ver=html5&p=8>; 
(and the review copy that was publicised in September 2020).

For news of a future edition, if any, should I simply watch 
<https://bsdimp.blogspot.com/search/label/git>?

Thanks

(I have another question about deep and shallow … I'll post separately 
to freebsd-questions …)
