What
A checkpoint snapshot of a very large working tree can now stop with a clear message instead of producing an incomplete result, and deleted files are counted in the snapshot's path total.
Details
Attribute listing can return an overflow result, surfaced to you as reason too_many_paths with a message saying the attribute listing overflowed; overflowed entries are dropped from the collected list.
Deletions are no longer folded into the bulk staging call; absent paths are listed explicitly from the index instead.
Files marked skip-worktree are un-marked before being re-added.
The reported stats.paths count now covers removed paths as well as staged ones.
Evidence
more changed paths than a snapshot can list (the attribute listing overflowed)
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
