To answer my own question, "vendor branch sorcery".  What confused me
about this in the first place was that if you look at the history of
this file in cvsweb, at

  http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/external/bsd/libarchive/dist/libarchive/archive_read.c?only_with_tag=MAIN

it says "Diff to previous 1.1 (colored)", and if you click on that,
you see a diff that's much larger than the upstream patch at

  https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/commit/ec5b86b48e99c5501374b01606f1ccdae6a8a93e.patch

Bug in cvsweb?
