Unclear Whether the locked-down fetch is active by default is not stated.
What
A partial clone is a git repository that downloads only part of its history. When Claude Code fetches missing commits for a worktree in one, and a server-side switch is on, the fetch now:
sets GIT_NO_LAZY_FETCH, so git does not fetch extra objects on its own
sets fetch.writeCommitGraph=false
no longer uses a per-remote upload-pack setting
The error messages changed too. They can warn that the repository's config file names its own upload-pack program, which git would start. They no longer suggest checking the commit out in your main checkout.
Why
A repository's config file can no longer make Claude Code run a program of its choosing during this fetch.
