Re: [PATCH] git-gui: Help identify aspell version on Windows too

My situation is this: I fire up git-gui, and because I have some stale
.git/GITGUI_MSG file, the commit message box is not empty. Aspell begins
its work, and git-gui correctly marks spelling mistakes in the first line.
Even if I type new text, delete old text, or change the whole text by
clicking "Amend", no new spelling mistakes are marked for the whole session.

Hmm.  Sounds to me like aspell crashes and dies after a while.

When aspell terminates on its own git-gui doesn't try to restart it.
I've never seen it abort on my Mac, or my Linux systems.  Or even
on Windows when I was using the Cygwin version of aspell.
