Hi!
As a somewhat heavy user of
gitcheckI regularly found that the "first check of the day" took rather long. Turns out that themaxdepthparameter was not applied to the actual traversal but only the output.This PR is a proposal to change that behaviour. It is especially useful when having "cold storage" like after a system restart.
For reference I have measured some timings for my system (the separate number is the number of directories check if it is a git repository).
Your mileage obviously varies as both the directory count and timings depend on the type of disk used but it should generally be faster.
