Hehe thanks for looking over my scribblings. In this case, neither
"kindof" nor "kind of" is in fact correct English. I used the slang word
"kindof" (sometimes spelled "kinda") to mean "somewhat", I guess because
"somewhat" sounded too formal for my slapdash opinion.

But I suppose it's kindof thoughtless to use slang in commit messages
:-), especially given that they are also meant for people for whom
English is a second language (let alone sloppy American English).

I suggest s/kindof/potentially/, at least until I have time to submit a
patch to the English language to make "kindof" a reputable word :-)
