A shot in the dark until someone with access to Windows chimes in (it appears that the "open recent repository" feature of `git gui` is specific to Git for Windows): have you verified that repository actually exists on your filesystem?

Another interesting question is whether the pathname of that repository includes space characters which could in principle confuse `git gui`.
