Yes.

Loading from a git repository uses the same mechanisms as used when 
loading from an mcz file: method removal and renames should be handled 
correctly...

This should not  be necessary ... there must be something in your 
workflow that is not quite correct ... or you are hitting an odd bug...

Again, this should not be necessary for class renames either ... For 
class removal there are certain circumstances when GemStone will not 
remove a class: when the class has subclasses; but the Monticello loader 
usually get's it right ...

If a class is move to another package, then the class may be able to 
survive, depending upon what the loaded package looks like

Again, I would like to have you described exactly what you do when you 
find that a method removed in pharo is not removed when the package is 
loaded in GemStone ... I assume that you have converted to using a 
BaselineOf to manage your packages? Here's the workflow you should be using:

1. remove method from class
2. save package to filetree/git repo
3. in shell sitting in git repo on pharo machine: `git add .; git commit 
-m"..."; git push origin <branch name>`
4. in shell sitting in git repo on gemstone machine: `git pull origin 
<branch name>`
5. in gemstone:
   Metacello new
     baseline: 'project-name';
     repository: 'filetree description';
     get;
     load;
6. method should be remove from class in GemStone

Now if this sequence does not work, then we'll need to get more detailed 
and I will probably need a reproducible test case so I can figure out 
what's going wrong ...
