I wrote this a while ago. I'm not sure exactly what you are after, but
maybe you can use it as a starting point:

#!/usr/bin/ruby

IGNORE_EXT = %w(.scc .exe .xbe .lib .sbr .obj .dat .suo .pdb .res .idb .pch)
IGNORE_BASE = %w(_darcs lib vultures buildlog.htm contentmeta.h rdiff)

class String
    def indent
        return "\t" + self.gsub("\n", "\n\t")
    end
end

class Diff

    def diff(f1, f2)
        if f1.respond_to?(:to_ary)
            filelist(f1.to_ary, f2.to_ary)
        else
            if File.directory?(f1) and File.directory?(f2)
                dir(f1,f2)
            elsif File.file?(f1) and File.file?(f2)
                file(f1,f2)
            elsif File.directory?(f1)
                report_directory(f1, f2)
            elsif File.directory?(f2)
                report_directory(f2, f1)
            elsif File.file?(f1)
                report_file(f1, f2)
            elsif File.file?(f2)
                report_file(f2, f1)
            end
        end
    end

    def file(f1, f2)
        res = `diff #{f1} #{f2}`
        report_diff(f1, f2, res) if res != ""
    end

    def filelist(l1, l2)
        map = {}
        s = Struct.new(:f1, :f2)
        for f in l1
            next if IGNORE_EXT.include?(File.extname(f))
            next if IGNORE_BASE.include?(File.basename(f))
            next if f[/~\d*$/]
            map[ File.basename(f) ]  = s.new(f, nil)
        end
        for f in l2
            next if IGNORE_EXT.include?(File.extname(f))
            next if IGNORE_BASE.include?(File.basename(f))
            next if f[/~\d*$/]
            b = File.basename(f)
            map[ b ] = s.new(nil, nil) if not map[ b ]
            map[ b ].f2 = f
        end
        for base, files in map
            if !files.f1
                report_missing(files.f2)
            elsif !files.f2
                report_missing(files.f1)
            else
                diff(files.f1, files.f2)
            end
        end
    end

    def dir(d1, d2)
        diff( Dir.glob(d1 + "/*").collect {|x| x.downcase},
            Dir.glob(d2 + "/*").collect {|x| x.downcase} )
    end

    # Reporting functions

    def report_directory(d, f)
        report(:type_mismatch, "#{d} is a directory, but #{f} is not")
    end

    def report_file(f, x)
        report(:type_mismatch, "#{f} is a regular file, but #{x} is not")
    end

    def report_missing(f)
        report(:missing_file, "#{f} has no corresponding file") if
$report_missing
    end

    def report_diff(f1, f2, res)
        report(:diff, "\n#{f1} <--> #{f2}\n\n#{res.indent}")
    end

    def report(type, s)
        puts
        puts s
    end

end
