Nitpick: The old version will not be gone unless it is no longer reachable from any of the refs. Making it no longer reachable from merely one of many refs will not cause it to be GC'd.

This isn't really a nitpick though, since this means that similar porcelain could be implemented on top of git fairly easily. The underlying data-model supports it.
