It was indeed an oversight on imported 3rd-party code. linenoise.c is a command-line editing library used by the "fossil sql" command. Including linenoise.c in the source tree works around the problem of various unix systems having different and incompatible command-line editing libraries, or frequently none at all. Linenoise comes from antirez (Salvatore Sanfilippo). The comment in question provided the reader with no useful information and so it was a simple matter to delete it. Thanks for pointing out the oversight. -- D.
