From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The end of the cached tree index extension format trails off with ellipses ever since 23fcc98 (doc: technical details about the index file format, 2011-03-01). While an intuitive reader could gather what this means, it could be better to use "and so on" instead. Really, this is only justified because I also wanted to point out that the number of subtrees in the index format is used to determine when the recursive depth-first-search stack should be "popped." This should help to add clarity to the format.
