What
Claude Code sorts some environment variables (named values your system passes to programs) by whether they point to a file or a folder. GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL and GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM, which tell Git where its configuration files are, are now sorted as file paths, alongside variables such as JAVACMD and CLOUDSDK_PYTHON.
Why
These two variables are now handled the same way as other variables that point to a single file.
