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.
