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 v2.1.248

Fewer git calls when the working tree is already up to date

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal1
Git Integration

Fewer git processes run per turn when your working tree hasn't changed.

What

The working-tree sync step now compares the two trees first and skips the git read-tree call entirely when they match, and checks the index for changes before deciding whether a refresh is needed. Fewer git processes per turn on unchanged checkouts.

Evidence

--ignore-submodules=none

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