Yep.

I'm dubious. It's pretty confusing if --depth sometimes refers to the
ancestry graph, and sometimes refers to the filesystem layout. It's
especially bad, since 'log' presumably takes _both_ switches...
(Switching to --maxdepth doesn't really help, now we have two options
that are arbitrarily different; reminds me of tla's "mv" vs.
"move"...).
Not sure what a better name would be. We can change the name of log's
--depth option to something else, and let --depth refer to the
filesystem, if that turns out to allow a nicer solution.
