Git Worktrees broken since v1.19367.0 (MacOS)
From Changelog:
-
Added descriptive branch names for local Code sessions, derived from your first message, in place of the random adjective-noun names.
Starting a session creates a new branch and checks it out immediately (already stupid), but then it does not create a worktree via git worktree add against the created branch, resulting in an empty folder with just a .claude and local settings copied. The agent can't work like this and parallel workflows are broken. They just create a branch and check it out.
I generated a workaround script, easily enough, but this is not optimal and it annoys me to high heaven.
This is such a basic thing, how can they fuck this up? My confidence in Anthropic is not high, especially when I see stuff like this. Not as bad as codex, but it baffles the mind.
Can you confirm?
