What
The check Claude Code uses to decide whether a cached git store is still fresh now also compares the objects timestamp between the current state and the stored stamps, in addition to the existing info, pack, alternates, and httpAlternates comparisons it already made.
Why
This makes the staleness check more thorough, catching cases where the underlying git objects changed even if the other tracked components didn't, so a stale cache is less likely to be used.
