DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Change-size counts ignore your diff.relative setting

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal1
Elsewhere not in their notes

Changed-line and changed-file counts now cover the whole repo regardless of your diff.relative setting.

diff.relative
What

The two helpers that count changed lines and files now also force diff.relative=false. If you set diff.relative in your git config or work from a subdirectory, those counts were previously scoped to that directory; they are now consistent across the whole repository.

Details
  • Applies to both the summary and per-file counting helpers, with no gate.
Evidence

diff.relative=false

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
