Just to clarify, I think most of them can say "dir.c: ".

I saw quite a few decl-after-statement in new code. Please fix them.

As to the "who owns x->src and when is it freed" question, it may make sense to give el a "filename" field (command line and other special cases would get whatever value you deem appropriate, like NULL or "<command line>"), have x->src point at that field when you queue many x's to the el in add_exc_from_file_to_list(). Then when you pop an element in the exclude_stack, you can free el->filename to plug a potential leak.

Also I do not see why you need to have the strdup() in the caller of add_excludes_from_file_to_list(). If you need to keep it stable because you are copying it away in exclude or excludde_list, wouldn't it make more sense to do that at the beginning of the callee, i.e. add_excludes_from_file_to_list() function?
