Sorry, I wasn't clear.  The "git-gui" program is just telling "aspell" to 
use the default "aspell" dictionary.  It's then up to "aspell" to decide 
what the default dictionary is.

The relevant "git-gui" code appears to be here:

http://repo.or.cz/w/git-gui.git/blob/HEAD:/git-gui.sh#l3913

OK, I can suggest that to the Git maintainers.
