If your repository is local, as it is with a cloned git repository, it's quick — in fact, it's quite a lot faster than making a snapshot — and hitting it before making a far-reaching, possibly dangerous change to your code is pretty much a no-brainer, if you ask me.

Perhaps, although I'm somewhat unsure of what VC is for, if not for making it possible to compare and revert changes that might possibly have ill effects. Then again, I've also made hitting Command-S every few seconds into a thoroughly ingrained habit, and everyone now seems to think that typing that short keystroke is a feat of Herculean proportions, so I dunno, maybe it's just me.

Huh, so it is. I'm sure it wasn't always this way, since Xcode's snapshot feature predated its git support. Maybe performance will actually be decent on it now (the old Xcode 3 snapshots used to take until your beard grew to the floor to complete). It still looks like it makes a whole separate repository for snapshots though, which still seems like a waste of space.
