checkov directory switch not repeatable

Describe the bug When running checkov -h, the directory switch claims it is repeatable but when you repeat it, only the last directory listed is scanned

  -d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY
                        Terraform root directory (can not be used together with --file). Can be repeated

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create two directories (directory1, directory2) containing valid terraform files
2. Run cli command checkov -d ./directory1 -d ./directory2
3. Only directory2 is scanned

Expected behavior Both directory1 and directory2 are scanned

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Checkov Version: 1.0.180

Additional context I would actually prefer a recursive switch, using the -d directive multiple times is a workaround

I’m potentially missing something here, but with talk of an -r flag, checkov’s behaviour is recursive for -d anyway;

Given a directory with the following layout:

➜  terraform git:(master) ls -la
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   5 matt  staff  160  7 Oct 16:41 .
drwxr-xr-x   9 matt  staff  288  7 Oct 16:41 ..
drwxr-xr-x  16 matt  staff  512  7 Oct 16:41 aws
drwxr-xr-x  17 matt  staff  544  7 Oct 16:41 azure
drwxr-xr-x   9 matt  staff  288  7 Oct 16:41 gcp
➜  terraform git:(master) ls

Checkov will return results from all three, this is from the terragoat project under ./terraform https://github.com/bridgecrewio/terragoat/tree/master/terraform

Does that not solve the original issue of needing to scan multiple directories?
