I use Git and have a work flow similar to what you are describing. My git commits are usually frequent, focused and sometimes staged. But I also manually copy the entire project folder or repository at various points in time and put it in a manual backup or history folder. I usually keep the last 20 or more of these manual backups.
This frees me up for doing what ever crazy thing I want in the active git repository. If it starts going south I can just throw it all away (along with the Xcode project specific "DerivedData" directory), pull out a prior "version" from the manual backup directory and start fresh again. The whole process takes about a minute and has been bullet proof.
I still use Git for reviewing history, managing branches, merging changes from one branch to another, etc., but this modified workflow has made my day to day development go much faster.
