When you are doing a tree-diff, there are basically two options: do not
recurse into subtrees at all, or recurse indefinitely. While most
callers would want to always recurse and see full pathnames, some may
want the efficiency of looking only at a particular level of the tree.
This is currently easy to do for the top-level (just turn off
recursion), but you cannot say "show me what changed in subdir/, but do
not recurse".
This patch adds a max-depth parameter which is measured from the closest
pathspec match, so that you can do:
git log --raw --max-depth=1 -- a/b/c
and see the raw output for a/b/c/, but not those of a/b/c/d/
(instead of the raw output you would see for a/b/c/d).
