> It is not possible to effectively use the -prune action with find-dired.
>
> With plain find, -prune would be used like:
>
>     find . -name "foo*" -prune -o -name "*.el" -ls
>
> However, find-dired wraps everything:
>
>     (find-dired "." "-name \\"foo*\\" -prune -o -name \\"*.el\\" -ls")
>
> results in the equivalent call:
>
>     find . \( -name "foo*" -prune -o -name "*.el" -ls \) -ls
>
> Notably, this will list files matching foo*
>
> Unfortunately, I'm not sure if there are any easy remedies.  Perhaps
> find-dired should refrain from appending -ls if ARGS already contains
> -ls.
