This PR updates the checkpoints documentation to clarify that:

  1. Checkpoints require the working directory to be a Git repository
  2. Nested Git repositories (including git submodules or repos within repos) are NOT supported
  3. Checkpoint functionality is not available when nested repositories are detected

Changes made:

  • Added clarification in the "Important Notes" section that the working directory must be a Git repository
  • Updated the "Nested Git Repositories" section to accurately describe that nested repos are not supported (previously incorrectly stated the system handles them)

Built for emilie by Kilo for Slack

- Add note that working directory must be a Git repository for checkpoints to work
- Update Nested Git Repositories section to clarify nested repos are NOT supported
- Explain that checkpoint functionality is not available when nested repositories are detected
