Merge branch 'tc/last-modified-options-cleanup'

The "-z" and "--max-depth" documentation (and implementation of
"-z") in the "git last-modified" command have been updated.

* tc/last-modified-options-cleanup:
  last-modified: change default max-depth to 0
  last-modified: document option '--max-depth'
  last-modified: document option '-z'
  last-modified: clarify in the docs the command takes a pathspec

`-r`::
`--recursive`::
Instead of showing tree entries, step into subtrees and show all entries
inside them recursively.
Recursively traverse into all subtrees. By default, the command only
shows tree entries matching the `<pathspec>`. With this option, it
descends into subtrees and displays all entries within them.
Equivalent to `--max-depth=-1`.
`-t`::
`--show-trees`::
Show tree entries even when recursing into them. It has no effect
without `--recursive`.
Show tree entries even when recursing into them.
`--max-depth=<depth>`::
For each pathspec given on the command line, traverse at most `<depth>`
levels into subtrees. A negative value means no limit.
The default is 0, which shows all paths matching the pathspec
without descending into subtrees.
`-z`::
Terminate each line with a _NUL_ character rather than a newline.
`<revision-range>`::
Only traverse commits in the specified revision range. When no

`[--] <path>...`::
For each _<path>_ given, the commit which last modified it is returned.
Without an optional path parameter, all files and subdirectories
in path traversal the are included in the output.
`[--] <pathspec>...`::
Show the commit that last modified each path matching _<pathspec>_.
If no _<pathspec>_ is given, all files and subdirectories are included.
See linkgit:gitglossary[7] for details on pathspec syntax.
OUTPUT
------
The output is in the format:
------------
<oid> TAB <path> LF
------------
If a path contains any special characters, the path is C-style quoted. To
avoid quoting, pass option `-z` to terminate each line with a NUL.
------------
<oid> TAB <path> NUL
