        For each &lt;pathspec&gt; given on command line, descend at most &lt;depth&gt;
        levels of directories. A negative value means no limit.
        This option is ignored if &lt;pathspec&gt; contains active wildcards.
        In other words if "a*" matches a directory named "a*",
        "*" is matched literally so --max-depth is still effective.

        By default, the command shows the filename for each

        When run from a subdirectory, the command usually
