Missing sign-off (see [1] for what this means).

It would also be helpful if the commit message explains that in the
"root of the tree" case match_baselen is -1.

nit: we prefer a space after casts (see Git's
Documentation/CodingGuidelines which we follow).

I also think we should be casting "len" to ssize_t here (for those who
haven't looked in the code, "len" is a size_t and "match_baselen" is an
int).

This changed in commit 7358f63 (git: update for v2.3.0, 2015-02-07) when
walk_tree() changed from taking a "const char *" with an "int" length to
taking a "struct strbuf".  So when "match_baselen" was originally added
it matched the type of the length parameter to which it is compared
here.
