What part was unclear?

* 6.13 uses -version-number 3:0:1
* that causes production of .so.3
* it's set in stone
* next incompatible change requires use of .so.4

* going back to .so.2 not a good idea
* humans are prone to errors and
  would reuse .so.3 in error

* therefore the patch makes a clean restart,
  using -version-info 3:0:0, to continue using .so.3
  starting from ipset-6.13 until the next *real*
  incompatible change.

(If you care about the uninteresting third digit,
-version-info 3:1:0 would be wanted.)
