What
For some plugins, Claude Code downloads only part of a git repository (a sparse clone). The options for that download now go into the git command itself:
--no-checkout is always passed.
--filter=blob:none is passed only when the repository's URL meets a condition.
Before, both options were added together, apparently to the wrong list, so git may never have received them.
Why
Partial plugin downloads may now behave as intended, fetching less than a full copy of the repository.
How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtIt is not certain whether git really missed these options before, or which URLs get the filter.
