Ah, you beat me to this change, but..

@@ -600,9 +600,14 @@ static int unpack_nondirectories(int n, unsigned long mask,
                 src[i + o->merge] = create_ce_entry(info, names + i, stage);

Doesn't it make more sense to follow the code above and do src[i + o->merge]?

Not sure I understand. Is the goal to avoid confusion for code readers by using the same indexing method for allocation and release? Or are you worried about o->merge having a different value than 1 in that loop?

We'd have to add 1 (== o->merge) to each index variable usage with a zero-based loop. A one-based loop avoids that, and while it's not pretty it's also not too complicated, I think.
