This message is lacking a bit of information. Since diff-no-index.c does not presently include dir.h, the reader is left to wonder why you need to resolve a non-existent conflict. You should explain that diff-no-index.c will soon be including dir.h, which is why the function must be renamed. You might say something like:

    A subsequent patch will include dir.h in diff-no-index.c to
    access is_dot_or_dotdot(), however, dir.h declares a
    read_directory() which conflicts with a (different)
    read_directory() defined in diff-no-index.c. Rename
    diff-no-index.c's read_directory() to avoid the conflict.

Unfortunately, all three patches arrived in a single email message, which is undesirable. It's a good idea to try sending patches to yourself first (using "git send-email") to make sure that everything comes through okay; then send to the list.

The patch looks reasonable. The name is a bit odd, but not terribly important.

You can drop the "." from the end of this line.

You're not really implementing any code, so this is a bit misleading, and you don't need to explain that it's from dir.h since that's obvious from the fact that you are including dir.h You might say instead:

    Use is_dot_or_dotdot() instead of manually checking against "."
    or "..".

Drop "now" and the ".".

No need to explain that it is from dir.h.

On this project it probably would be more idiomatic to say !name[1].

Overall, however, this change does not really make the code clearer. It probably would be best to drop this patch from your submission.
