Would that kind of provision allow me to have my code removed from a git repository history, if that git repository is hosted by a company?

As long as you didn't give those rights by signing a CLA or a copyleft license. Never sign a CLA unless you're fully compensated.

I am not a lawyer, but I believe in general, yes.

Git is not even that convoluted, as all the history is stored in the .git folder within the repo. Unless there is some convoluted structure built on top, they would only need to move the repo folder to a trash disk, waiting to be formated.

That being said, GDPR is somewhat poorly enforced at the moment, unfortunately. I don't know if you can sue the company and expect some result within couple of years.
