What
When Claude Code stages files to build a bundle (used for uploading a working tree, for example to start a cloud session), it now hashes each file using git's own object-format hasher to compute its actual git blob ID, and records that ID with the staged file. For files tracked by Git LFS (Git's system for handling large files), it also computes and attaches a separate LFS blob ID.
Why
Computing real git blob IDs lets staged files be matched against git's own object identifiers, including for large files managed through Git LFS, which a plain content hash would not do.
