I was thinking a bit about this the other day. I think that it would probably be geared around the way that Git is actually used.
The thing about DVCS is that it's allowed a whole lot of experimentation around different workflows, and two in particular have come to the forefront in particular: pull requests and git-flow. A porcelain designed around these particular workflows would be quite effective IMO.
Also, I think it would have some better, less jargonistic terminology. For example, something like TFS's "get-latest" as an alias for "git pull origin master" would be a lot clearer.
