Feature Request git snap, Lightweight Commit Workflow for Iterative Development

Hi Git contributors,

This proposal introduces a new command git snap  designed to support
highly iterative development workflows nowdays  influenced by AI
coding assistants.

The rise of AI assistants and agentic AI workflows has changed the
pace and nature of coding. A developer might cycle through dozens of
variations of a function or component in a short period while
collaborating with an AI.

This feature would provide a soft commit or snapshot capability,
allowing developers to save their work state frequently and create a
new commit every time as a snapshot or checkpoint without a commit
message and flag where We can provide an option for developers to
include files at the start of snap Session.

The current Git workflow presents friction in this type of workflow.

I've created a small Git repository with documents to help illustrate
the concept.
Please review it at your convenience :

Your feedback on this is highly valuable.
Thanks,
Suraj Bhadrike
