Unclear Where in Claude Code these branch-wide counts are shown is not stated.
What
Claude Code counts how many lines were added and removed in your Git repository. Before, these counts covered only your uncommitted work. They can now also be measured against the merge-base, the commit where your branch split off from its base branch, so they include everything done on the branch.
The count now runs with --no-renames, so a renamed file is counted as one file removed and one added. The check for new files that Git does not track yet also changed internally.
Why
The change counts Claude Code shows may now cover your whole branch rather than only what you have not committed yet.
