push from git gui goes to wrong branch

Hello,

there's a behavior in git gui (v1.7.3.2 and previous) that I consider bugous. Failed to find any bugreporting system on git's website so I'm reporting it here; please correct me if that's wrong.

I have the following snippet in my .git/config:
[branch "article"]
remote = baron
merge = refs/heads/dexen-article

However, the Push' button from git gui sends local branch article' to remote branch article', rather than to the indicated dexen-article'.

For reference, with the CLI git push', the local branch article' is pushed to remote branch `dexen-article' as expected.

Regards,
