An odd indentation that is overly deep to make it hard to read.

	if (cache_name_compare(ce->name, ce_namelen(ce),
			       next_ce->name, ce_namelen(next_ce)) > 1)

should be sufficient (replacing 7-SP before next_ce with a HT is OK
if the existing code nearby does so).

What is the significance of the return value from cache_name_compare()
that is strictly greater than 1 (as opposed to merely "is it positive?")?

Perhaps you want something that is modeled after ce_same_name() that
ignores the stage, i.e.

	int ce_name_compare(const struct cache_entry *a, const struct cache_entry *b)
	{
		return strcmp(a->ce_name, b->ce_name);
	}

without reimplementing the cache-name-compare() as

	int bad_ce_same_name(const struct cache_entry *a, const struct cache_entry *b)
	{
        	return !ce_same_name(a, b);
	}

to keep the "two names with different length could never be the
same" optimization.

	- if (0 <= ce_name_compare(ce, next)) then the names are not sorted

        - if (!stage(ce) && !name_compare(ce, next)) then the merged
          entry 'ce' is not the only entry for the path


+		die("Unordered stage entries in index");
+	if (ce_same_name(ce, next_ce)) {
+		if (!ce_stage(ce))
+			die("Multiple stage entries for merged file '%s'",
+				ce->name);
quoted hunk
+		if (ce_stage(ce) >= ce_stage(next_ce))
+			die("Unordered stage entries for '%s'", ce->name);
+	}

Have a SP each on both sides of binary operator "-".

Judging from the way this helper function is used, it looks like
check_with_previous_ce() is a more appropriate name.  After all, you
are not checking the next ce which you haven't even created yet ;-)
