What
When Claude Code summarises how many lines changed in a git repository, it now asks git for the per-file count (--numstat) first. It only uses the shorter overall count (--shortstat) for comparison points that were too large to handle before. A comparison point is the earlier commit the changes are measured against. Before, it always ran --shortstat first.
Why
This means fewer git commands are run to build the summary.
