Re: [PATCH v4 1/2] diff-no-index.c: rename read_directory()

The commit message should explain why this is a good change. In general, the "why?" question is more important than the "what" (the reader can see from the patch that you renamed the function, but cannot guess why you did so).

Also, when sending multiple patches, send them as a single thread. See for example:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/244441

In practice, call "git send-email" once, not once per patch. Try sending the patches to yourself first to avoid disturbing the list in case of user error.
