Overides the default directories to check by one directory 'path' and all its subdirectories.

-a | --depfile

path from working directory that contains the DEPRECATED file.

New addition to the deprecation list; this should be in the form of 'Module,dep_release,remove_release,notes'. Notes should only be 40 chars long.
