Here's another work around that doesn't require editing the code. Just turn the d**n spell checker off:

	git config --global gui.spellingdictionary none

That will keep us from evening trying to launch aspell, and since its global (in your ~/.gitconfig) it should default into every repository you have, or create.

Apparently aspell 0.50 does not like git-gui. I'll have to look at the version header and abort trying to use aspell if it is pre 0.60.

git-gui 0.10.2 here we come.
