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.
