ROOT output branch description

The root output file contains branch names that are very similar to each other (e.g. x vs X). Contrary to the manual ("The file contains ... for every sampler in the line with self-explanatory branch names."), it is not clear what the difference is. In fact many times they are actually the same as the ROOT hit is written by

bdsOutput->WriteRootHit(samplerName, E, x0, y0, z0, xp, yp, zp, t, E, x0, y0, z0, xp, yp, zp, t, x, y, z, xp, yp, zp, z, weight, PDGType, nEvent, 0, 1);

So I would suggest either: 1) explanation in the manual 2) clearer branch name description (add global/local to the name or such) 3) reduce the duplicate branches
