The git gui's recent repo list may become contaminated with duplicate entries. The git gui would barf when attempting to remove one entry. Remove them all - there is no option within 'git config' to selectively remove one of the entries. This issue was reported on the 'Git User' list (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/git-users/msev4KsQGFc, Warning: gui.recentrepo has multiply values while executing). On startup the gui checks that entries in the recentrepo list are still valid repos and deletes thoses that are not. If duplicate entries are present the 'git config --unset' will barf and this prevents the gui from starting. Subsequent patches fix other parts of recentrepo logic used for syncing internal lists with the external .gitconfig.
