Claude Code v2.1.242 24 Aug 2026

Repo size for upload is now measured by live objects, not pack files on disk

You'll notice

Useful3 Signal2

Cloud Sessions not in their notes

Repos with lots of dead history are no longer squashed or rejected based on pack file size.

--disk-usage--objects

What

Repos with large amounts of dead history in their pack files were being downgraded to a squashed snapshot or rejected as too big. The uploader now measures the bytes actually reachable from your branches and picks the bundle size tier from that.

Details

Reads count-objects -v first; if packs look far larger than the cap, runs a time-boxed rev-list --disk-usage --objects --missing=allow-any --all.
Skipped for partial clones, detected by sniffing extensions.partialclone and remote.*.promisor / partialclonefilter.
Runs on the hardened upload path; no flag to set.

Evidence

--missing=allow-any

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