If you have git installed, "man git" should contain separate lists of porcelain and plumbing. If not, the documentation is available in the git repository, under Documentation/. Porcelain: cmds-mainporcelain.txt, cmds-ancillarymanipulators.txt, cmds-ancillaryinterrogators.txt, and cmds-foreignscminterface.txt. Plumbing: cmds-plumbingmanipulators.txt, cmds-plumbinginterrogators.txt, cmds-synchingrepositories.txt, cmds-synchelpers.txt, and cmds-purehelpers.txt
