The filefind module [1] may do what you want [2] [3]:

require 'filefind'

-- Just files, excluding .svn directories.
for entry in filefind.glob('**@-.svn/') do
    print(entry.filename)
end

-- Just directories, excluding .svn directories.
for entry in filefind.glob('**/@-.svn/') do
    print(entry.filename)
end

-- Both files and directories, , excluding .svn directories.
for entry in filefind.glob('+**@-.svn/') do
    print(entry.filename)
end
