Questions are to be asked; no need to apologize.

I think that the "if asked to compare D and F, pretend as if asked
to compare D/F and F" and friends (meaning, "if asked to compare F
and D, compare F and D/F" needs to be handled the same way, and also
it needs to handle the case where "D/F" does *not* exist) logic can
be added to diff_no_index() just before it calls queue_diff().

"If one is directory but not the other, return an error" code may
need to be fixed but I think that would be a larger change than a
few hours work (which I understand is the size GSoC Micro aims for).
