Is it a safe assumption that the if() condition always indicates an
error?  When sparse-index is in effect, istate->cache_nr may be a
number that is smaller than the true number of paths in the index
(because all paths under a subdirectory we are not interested in are
folded into a single tree-ish entry), and I am not sure how it
should interact with it->entry_count (i.e. the number of paths under
the current directory we are looking at, which obviously cannot be a
sparsified entry) and pos (i.e. the index into active_cache[] that
represend the first path under the current directory)?

I guess as long as "it" is not folded, it does not matter how other
paths from different directories in active_cache[] are sparsified or
expanded, as long as "pos" keeps track of the current position
correctly.

Very good.  test_might_fail is a sign of trouble, and this gives us
a lot more predictability.
