I actually modified it further in PR#6973.

The foodbox rules are hard to read because they depend on a server variable,
foodbox, and everything is multiplied by that value.  granary_size_inc is
actually a percentage of foodbox.

The set of initial foodbox sizes are for future Civ 3 support, as the
foodbox there doesn't grow linearly with city size, and instead goes
20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 60.

I take responsibility for making it ugly. :)  Though I mostly kept it ugly
for purposes of backwards compatibility, which was probably a bad idea.

Also, I would actually like to finally have a definite split with the terms
foodbox and granary, to me the foodbox is where the food goes, and the 
granary is an improvement,
