Good question, it's been that way since the beginning...

It might have been due to the "0" for new files and line numbers
counting starting at "1".  But hunks aren't hyperlinks for new files,
since the blob OID already is.

I'll probably take this patch, soon, got a commit message?
Given the massive change Eml is, 1.5.0 will probably be released, soon.
