Git ownership errors now say what actually went wrong

When Claude Code refuses to prune git worktrees, the message now says whether git failed, gave no answer, or the folder is owned by someone else

What

Before running git worktree prune, Claude Code checks whether a repository is safe to touch, using git's safe.directory ownership rules. Before, any failure of this check gave the same message saying the folder was owned by another user. Now the refusal gives the real reason:

  • Git could not run
  • Git exited with an error, with the exit code shown
  • Git gave no answer
  • Git did not name the folder
Why

The old message blamed folder ownership even when git itself had failed to run, which sent you looking in the wrong place.
