Git snapshots are built from your current files, not Git's cached summary

Claude Code's Git snapshots now tell Git to ignore its cached summary of folders and build the snapshot from the files themselves

What

Claude Code takes Git snapshots of your work at certain points. In two places, it now runs git write-tree --ignore-cache-tree instead of plain git write-tree. Git keeps a cached summary of folder contents to speed things up, and this flag makes it rebuild the snapshot from the list of files instead of trusting that summary. Other snapshot paths in Claude Code already used this flag.

Why

In practice, a snapshot now matches the files actually recorded even if Git's cached summary is out of date.
