What
Claude Code refuses to register the session's working directory (the folder it was started in) as a cloned repository, because that folder is already registered. The check used to compare the two paths as exact text. It now treats paths as the same folder even when they differ in:
Letter case
Alias forms of the same folder
Windows network path (UNC) form, such as \\server\share
The error message now refers to "the session's working directory" and tells you to pass the cloned repository's own directory instead.
Why
Paths that point to the same folder through a link or a network path are no longer missed by this check.
