Awww hell. I think I see two issues. The first is $$ maybe was expanded by your shell so aspell didn't see it as a command? I should have used <<'EOF' to avoid that, but I uh, forgot.

Can you upgrade aspell to 0.60.5? Everywhere that I have used git-gui 0.10 that's the version I have had available. I wonder if 0.50.5 has an issue here, or just doesn't support the "$$cr" command I was trying to use. In which case I can try to make git-gui 0.10.2 detect the aspell version and avoid using $$cr if its an old version.
