Okay, so I guess what this means is:
Matching index entries against an excludes file currently has two
problems.
First, there's no function to do it. Code paths (like sparse checkout)
that wanted to try it would iterate over index entries and for each
index entry pass that path to excluded_from_list(). But that is not
how excluded_from_list() works; one is supposed to feed in each
ancester of a path before a given path to find out if it was excluded
because of some parent or grandparent matching a
bigsubdirectory/
pattern despite the path not matching any .gitignore pattern directly.
Second, it's inefficient. The excludes mechanism is supposed to let
us block off vast swaths of the filesystem as uninteresting; separately
checking every index entry doesn't fit that model.
Introduce a new function to take care of both these problems. This
traverses the index in depth-first order (well, that's what order the
index is in) to mark un-excluded entries.
Maybe some day the in-core index format will be restructured to make
this sort of operation easier. Or maybe we will want to try some
binary search based thing. The interface is simple enough to allow
all those things. Example:
clear_ce_flags(the_index.cache, the_index.cache_nr,
CE_CANDIDATE, CE_CLEARME, exclude_list);
would clear the CE_CLEARME flag on all index entries with
CE_CANDIDATE flag and not matched by exclude_list.

o is only used for its excludes list. Why not cut out the middle man
and take o->el as argument?
State (struct-worthy?):
cache pointer to an index entry
prefix_len an offset into its path
match_all a boolean telling whether we have some skipping to do
The current path (called the prefix), including trailing '/', is
cache[0]->name[0] .. cache[0]->name[prefix_len - 1]

Top level gets special handling. Let's skip to it (see [*] for where we
were).

For each cache entry...
Might be nice to phrase this as a for loop.
const char *prefix = cache[0]->name;
struct cache_entry ** const cache_end = cache + nr;
struct cache_entry **cep;
for (cep = cache; cep != cache_end; ) {
struct cache_entry *ce = *cep;

Some index entries are disqualified.
if (select_mask)
if (!(ce->ce_cflags & select_mask)) {
cep++;
continue;
}

Entries not under prefix are handled by the caller.
if (prefix_len)
if (strncmp(ce->name, prefix, prefix_len))
return cep - cache; /* number processed */

if (excluded_block ||
excluded_from_list(... /* Excluded? */
ce->ce_flags &= ~clear_mask;
cep++;
continue;
}
Putting the loop body in its own function could allow some nice depth
reduction.

/* Non-leaf. Recurse. */
cep += clear_ce_ ...
}
How about the other case, mentioned before (see [*] above)?
assert(prefix_len); /* Not toplevel but a subdirectory. */
assert(!match_all); /* Not wholesale excluded. */

Use memrchr?

case 0: /* Included. Great, no flag to clear. */
for (; cep != cache_end; cep++)
if (strncmp((*cep)->name, prefix, prefix_len))
break;
return cep - cache;

That last bit could even longjmp() if expecting deeply nested
directory hierarchies. (Sorry, joking, you should not do such an
awful thing unless timing it proves it useful.)
That was clean, thanks.
Hope some of my musings are useful anyway.
