It can be puzzling to see that was_tracked() asks to get an index entry by name, but does not take a negative return value for an answer. The reason we have to do this is that cache_name_pos() only looks for entries in stage 0, even if nobody asked for any stage in particular. Let's rewrite the logic a little bit, to handle the easy case early: if cache_name_pos() returned a non-negative position, we know it is a match, and we do not even have to compare the name again (cache_name_pos() did that for us already). We can say right away: yes, this file was tracked. Only if there was no exact match do we need to look harder for any matching entry in stage 2.
