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).

Ciao,
