        I am just thought of a idea to integrate a spell checker with
git so that when we check in the code the code comments are spell
checked before being put into the tree,maybe have a optimized
dictionary search.
what about this...? is it appropriate ...?

An external tool that spellchecks your code would certainly be nice, but
I'd vote against integrating it into git (or any other tool for that
matter). git doesn't care if what is being saved is C code, Malebolge, or a
collection of dirty pictures. And that is 100% fine with me. Don't kill
this, it is one of the fundamental Unix strengths.

For a start, you might want to read Documentation/hooks.txt. Then you want 
to inspect templates/hooks--pre-commit.
