Thanks for the submission. Comments below to give you a taste of the

Subject: diff: Imported dir.h and renamed read_directory()
Use imperative voice: "import dir.h and rename read_directory()"
this was done in order to implement the GSoC
Micro project for diff-no-index.c
This commentary won't be relevant to anyone reading the commit message
months or years from now. Place it below the "---" line following your
sign-off.
this is the
first patch importing dir.h, for the use of
is_dot_or_dotdot(), and renaming
read_directory() to read_directory_contents()
in order to deal with the conflicting function
in dir.h
Since this preparatory change and the one which will follow are so
closely related, they should be submitted together as a two-patch
series.

The commit message itself it somewhat rambling. It would be clearer if
you could explain the problem precisely, then the solution. Perhaps
something like this:

    It would be desirable to replace manual checking of "." or ".."
    in diff-no-index.c with is_dot_or_dotdot(), which is defined in
    dir.h, however, dir.h declares a read_directory() which conflicts
    with a (different) static read_directory() defined in
    diff-no-index.c. As a preparatory step, rename the local
    read_directory() to avoid the collision.

dir.h is not needed for this patch, so including it here only confuses
matters. Include it instead when it is actually required by the
follow-up patch which uses is_dot_or_dotdot().

(Was it intentional to place the new #include between diff.h and
diffcore.h? Just being curious; it's not particularly important.)

Other than this, the patch looks sane.
