I'm going to an interview this week. One thing I think that's missing in topics like this is that you are going to work for a company. This means that you need to look beyond the immediate position and take a large view to the business. I'm going to ask questions like "Why did your last custom stop using your product", "What is the company's vision for the next 3-5 years", "What are your revenue streams and how stable are they".

Knowing what dev process they use, tools, etc are all really good questions. But don't forget that the money they pay your salary with comes from somewhere. Knowing this internal information is just as important as knowing how Git works.
