Don't we use git-config to edit the config file in git-branch?

Not routinely. Seldom, even

In git-remote?  git-gui has *always* used git-config to store
its data.  You are sort of asking me to replace a working config
system with a new one that hasn't been tested...

Just divert the data someplace else.

Now moving the git-gui config to say ~/.gitgui-config and
.git/gitgui-config may have a good argument, as then git-gui
is editing its own files.

Good argument on its own

 Unless the user changes user.name
or user.email through git-gui, in which case we have to edit
.git/config or ~/.gitconfig anyway...

Yes, then of course (in this case the user is even aware).
