What
Claude Code asks git, the version control tool that tracks your files, how much each file changed. It now also requests git's --raw output, so each file gets a status:
added
removed
renamed
copied
modified
For renamed files, Claude Code also records the old path and the new path. A path that looks unsafe is rejected. Before, each file had only its added and removed line counts and whether it was binary.
Why
Views of your changes can now show renames and say what happened to each file, not only how many lines changed.
