jlpeyton set the repository for this revision to rL LLVM.

This is a follow up to the hierarchy cleanup patch.

Added some clarifying comments to hierarchy_info.
Fixed a bug with the depth field not being updated cleanly during a resize.
Fixed resize to first check capacity as determined by maxLevels before actually doing the full resize.
