[Orgmode] [PATCH] Headlines Prefixed with a Period in org-scan-tags, Why?

[Peter Jones]

I'm looking at this code in org-scan-tags (org.el):

(concat
 (if org-tags-match-list-sublevels
     (make-string (1- level) ?.) "")
 (org-get-heading))

Which causes items in my agenda buffer to be prefixed with a series of
periods.  I've been looking around org.el, and org-agenda.el, and don't
see any code that relies on those periods being there.

If I remove that if expression, the agenda looks the way I'd expect,
with no noticeable consequences.

Is there any reason the patch below would break something in Org?
