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.

Claude Code v2.1.238

Diffs are no longer truncated when run from a subdirectory

You'll notice

Git Integration not in their notes

Diffs read from a subdirectory are no longer shortened by your git diff.relative setting.

diff.relative
What

Claude Code now forces diff.relative=false when it runs git diff, so a diff.relative=true setting in your git config no longer shortens or limits the paths in diffs Claude reads while working from a subdirectory.

Details
  • The option is inserted before the diff subcommand, unconditionally on that path.
Evidence

"--no-optional-locks", "-c", "diff.relative=false", "diff"

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