Expand description

Fewest path components a directory must have before discovery will scan it.

A repository cloned directly into the home directory has ~ as its parent, and “scan the parent of every registered repository” would then mean walking the whole home directory — every cache, every application-support tree, every cloud mount. The depth floor is what stops one repository in the wrong place from turning a cheap neighbourhood scan into a full-disk crawl.
