It makes sure that ->extension_linenr is set to the first line number of an extension (like, say, "copy from") and not advanced again (e.g. when we hit "copy to", or more importantly some line like "similarity index" which does not set one of the extension bits and thus can't actually cause a conflict).

Hmm, pondering that, it seems I forgot to reset its value after each patch. Or better just move it into struct patch, next to the extension bits:
