Shawn,
The other day I committed something with a comment that had a rather
embarrassing misspelling. I had some more commits on top of that and I
was about to dcommit it up to the companies SVN repository before I
caught it. I reset the commits to fix it and all was well.
But it had me thinking about avoiding the problem in the future and how
I handle it in other applications. So far, I think Opera has the best
GUI spell checking[1]. I then went and poked around the git-gui code to
see how hard it would be to learn some minimal Tk in order to implement
such a thing.

If Tk comes really natural and you could crank this sort of thing out
and have the time to do so, I would really appreciate it. Otherwise I
might take a stab at it. Reading the aspell documentation (what Opera)
uses doesn't seem all that bad about operating with stdout/stdin. I
browsed the web looking for "recipes" for making something very similar
to the Opera spell checker, but I don't think I found any good resources
which explain going from little Tcl/Tk to a workable simple GUI.
Is this some functionality you and/or others would like to see?
Adam
