Re: [svnbook] r4244 committed - We only need three dots there....

[Richard Cavell]

##English on irc.freenode.net is telling me it's 3.  Wikipedia seems to allow both ways.

Hrm. Maybe it's just been too many years since I tried to obey a style guide but I was pretty sure that an ellipsis at the end of a sentence with no sentence following required four dots. Ancient memories though, I'll admit.
