Yes, that's correct.

An item on my todo list (see todo branch in git-gui.git) is to move this into a ~/.gitguiconfig or something like that, but I was going to keep it as a git-config style file so git-config can be used to process its contents.

Until that task is complete I'd rather keep all of the "gui" options in ~/.gitconfig (global) or .git/config (per-repository). When I split stuff out to git-gui specific files I'll have to migrate the entire "gui" section at once.
