Unclear Which Claude Code feature shows these reasons is not clear.

What

When Claude Code leaves a folder out, it gives a reason. Two reasons changed:

  • A folder can now be left out because "it is in a repository that is never offered".
  • A folder that is not a usable git checkout is now described as one where "it is missing or cannot be opened, or its .git is not a plain file or folder". It used to tell you to start from the top folder of a git repository.

A git checkout is a folder of files tracked with the git version-control tool.

Why

The refusal messages you see are worded differently and say more precisely what is wrong.
