Add 'git commit --spell' to run a spell checker on commit log message.
The `commit.spell` configuration variable can be used to enable the spell
checker by default and can be turned off by '--no-spell'.

Isn't this exactly the sort of thing the commit-msg hook is for?

Plus as I have just found out all hooks are run with stdin as '/dev/null' so
there is no way of running an interactive command like 'ispell' from a hook!
