[FEATURE] Agent SDK: Support different sessions for different Git branches in the same project
Preflight Checklist

- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
Requirement: When switching to different Git branches in the same project, I want to use different sessions for each branch.
Current behavior: All branches share the same session data in the same directory.
Expected behavior: Ability to automatically or manually isolate sessions for different branches to avoid context confusion between branches.
Use case: When developing in parallel on multiple branches of the same project, each branch should have an independent AI conversation history.
Proposed Solution
When switching Git branches, Claude Code automatically detects the branch change
and uses a separate session for each branch. Sessions are stored with a branch
identifier (e.g., ~/.claude/projects/<project>/<branch-name>/sessions/).
User experience: No configuration needed. Just switch branches and the session
automatically changes.
