git-gui, of course. I consider it porcelain, because it uses core-git as backend.

In the same vein, I should consider gitk porcelain now, since it has rebase capabilities. I will not, and I am not very happy that this viewer got a non-view-only capability, instead of git-gui, where that feature should have belonged (as suggested by at least one answer to a later question in the survey -- not by me).
