Unclear The finding does not say why a home directory inside a checkout affects finding git.

What

When Claude Code cannot find a working copy of git (the version-control program), the error can now add a note. It says the home directory counts here because it "is itself" or "lies inside" a git checkout (a folder tracked by git), and gives that checkout's path.

Why

If your home folder is tracked by git, the error now says so and names the folder involved, which can help explain an otherwise puzzling message.
