The "offset" variable was was introduced in 44b67cb62b (range-diff:
split lines manually, 2019-07-11), but it has never done anything
useful. We use it to count up the number of bytes we've consumed, but we
never look at the result. It was probably copied accidentally from an
almost-identical loop in apply.c:find_header() (and the point of that
commit was to make use of the parse_git_diff_header() function which
underlies both).
Because the variable was set but not used, most compilers didn't seem to
notice, but the upcoming clang-14 does complain about it, via its
-Wunused-but-set-variable warning.

The for-loop with an empty initializer and a doubled post-loop operation
is a little funny to see. I didn't see an easy way to make it less ugly
(pushing the line/size initialization into the for() would work, but the
resulting line is awfully long).
