Introduce a symbolic constant (C preprocessor macros) so that the
above becomes

	if (res == ADD_TO_INDEX_CACHEINFO_UNABLE_TO_ADD)
		return error("%s: cannot add to the index - missing --add option?",
			     path);
	if (res < 0)
		return res;

or something like that.

Stepping back a bit.

It feels _really_ odd that add_to_index_cacheinfo() became silent
only for one error-return case while the other error case emits an
error message on its own, without any way to squelch it.  Isn't this
adapting too much the need of a single (future) caller?

It may make more sense to do

	#define ADD_TO_INDEX_CACHEINFO_INVALID_PATH	(-1)
	#define ADD_TO_INDEX_CACHEINFO_UNABLE_TO_ADD	(-2)

and make both silent.  At least that would be more consistent.

As a public function with mysterious 0/-1/-2 return values, a reader
deserves to see a comment to understand how to call this function,
how to treat its return value, etc.

You already have enough material to fill in such a comment in your
proposed log message, it seems, which is good.

I see two behaviour differences from the original, which may be
worth noting in the proposed log message as difference.

 - callers of add_cacheinfo() never learned of the new cache entry;
   this allows the caller to optionally obtain a pointer to it.

 - we used to leak a new cache entry when add_cache_entry() refused
   to add it to the index; the leak got plugged.

Why initialize it to NULL?  It is quite clear in the code that the
variable is never used until it is assigned to.

This behaviour is new.  We were leaking the ce.

I think you mean by 'p' a "pointer", but that is a horrible way to
name things.  We know from the type that it is a pointer to a
pointer already; what reader needs to learn from either its name or
a comment associated with it is what purpose it serves.

Perhaps call it with a name that hints it is used as the return
parameter, e.g. ce_ret?
