Version 3 is missing the --depth option

[morhimi]

Since version 3 got released, the --depth option is no longer available.
how can I achieve that functionality in V3?

[arbazkiraak]

this depth feature was indeed helpful in previous versions where we can only perform scans over newer commits , any reasons why it has been removed @zricethezav ?

[zricethezav]

@arbazkiraak No reason, I simply dropped the ball on including all the features when doing the v3 rewrite. This should be added in the next minor version release.

• Since gitleaks now support commit scan range feature I don't think depth feature is necessary.

@arbazkiraak the range addition is 3.1 is very cool but it is not a good replacement for the depth option. nothing beats --depth 100 in simplicity and ease of use

cc @morhimi #321 going into 3.2.0
