Description
Currently walk is either True (walk the whole tree) or False (only consider the top level). It would be good to enable specifying the depth exactly.
As a possible addition, using fsspec's depth-first walk would allow skipping ignored directory names ealier.

Research direction
Start by locating the implementation and tests for the walk option, then review how the current True and False values select tree depth. Check fsspec's depth-first walk behavior, especially ignored directory names, and define tests showing that an integer selects exactly that depth and that the existing boolean behavior remains unchanged.
