Claude Code v2.1.290 ·

Git commit lookup no longer mistakes branch names for options

When Claude Code asks git for a commit's hash and subject, it now marks the end of options so a name cannot be read as a flag

What

Claude Code runs a git command to show a commit's hash and subject. It now ends that command with --, which tells git that nothing after it is an option. A branch or tag name that starts with a dash is then read as a name, not as a flag (a setting written with dashes).

Why

This stops an oddly named branch or tag from slipping extra options into the git command.
