What
Before teleporting, Claude Code can stash your uncommitted changes, which means setting them aside with git. It now first checks whether any file or link that git tracks has been replaced by a folder. If so, it refuses with a message that begins 'Nothing was stashed' and explains that stashing could delete what is in that folder for good.
If the check itself cannot be completed, nothing is stashed either.
Why
In this situation stashing could permanently delete the folder's contents. Refusing keeps your files where they are.
