The list of recently opened repositories is stored in the config as gui.recentrepos.

Visit https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2114111/where-does-git-config-global-get-written-to for more info about where config files are stored.

For example: in my %HOMEPATH% folder file .gitconfig (msysGit 1.8.1):

[gui]

     recentrepo = C:/one

     recentrepo = C:/two

And in C:Program filesGitetcgitconfig there are no gui.recentrepo setting, global settings only.
