This patch addresses two issues: 1. When the number of recent repo's gets to ten there can be a situation where an item is removed from the .gitconfig file via a call to git config --unset, but the internal representation of that file (repo_config(gui.recentrepo)) is not updated. Then a subsequent attempt to remove an item from the list fails because git-gui attempts to call --unset on a value that has already been removed. This leads to duplicates in the .gitconfig file, which then also cause errors if the git-gui tries to --unset them (rather than using --unset-all. --unset-all is not used because it is not expected that duplicates should ever be allowed to exist.) For complete step-by-step instructions on how to cause these situations in git-gui see my comment on the msysgit project at http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=362&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Component%20Owner%20Summary#c9 2. When loading the list of recent repositories (proc _get_recentrepos) if a repo in the list is not considered a valid git reposoitory then we should go ahead and remove it so it doesn't take up a slot in the list (since we limit to 10 items). This will prevent a bunch of invalid entries in the list (which are not shown) from making valid entries dissapear off the list even when there are less than ten valid entries.
