What
Repeated git invocations now share one cached probe rather than redoing the same two expensive lookups each time: locating the git executable on PATH, and computing a PATH with directories a cloud session can reach stripped out. When git is not found, the error now distinguishes git being absent entirely from git existing only in a directory Claude Code refuses to search.
Details
The cached values are the resolved git executable and the reduced PATH.
The "only in a directory we refuse to search" case is flagged separately based on the stderr text differing from the plain not-found message.
Evidence
gitExeOnPath
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
