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