Makes me almost suspect that it may make more sense to keep track of the "depth" in a similar way as "base" and "baselen" as "traversal state" on the side of the caller so that you do not have to scan the string for slashes over and over again. But given the codeflow, doing so might make the result look too ugly, so I won't recommend that without thinking, though.

This gives different behaviour to between callers that give you NULL as pathspec and callers that give you a pathspec with zero elements. Is this intended? What is the use case (iow, what does an end user give from the command line to experience this difference)?

If two pathspecs that overlap with each other (e.g. "Documentation/" and "Documentation/technical") are given, and if the shorter one comes before the longer one in ps[], wouldn't this give you an unexpected result? When inspecting "Documentation/technical/api/foo.txt" with depth limit of 2, if you didn't have "Documentation/" pathspec, you count "api/foo.txt" relative to "Documentation/technical", declare that the path is within limit, and show it. But if you have "Documentation/" in ps[], you look at it, decide "technical/api/foo.txt" is too deep and return false without even looking at "Documentation/technical" that may appear later in ps[], no?
