Unclear It is not clear what Claude Code does differently with a momentary problem, such as whether it tries again.
What
A .gitignore file tells git which files to ignore. Sometimes Claude Code cannot use a folder's .gitignore because another program has the file busy. That case is now classed as a momentary problem, not as an unreadable file. The message you see is the same.
Why
A file that is briefly locked is no longer handled as if it could never be read.
