What is the purpose of the coverage option "srcpath"?

In my scenario I have a folder "dependencies" and a folder 
"source". I want to generate
code coverage only for the files in folder "source".

dmd -unittest -cov source/app.d dependencies/dep.d
app.exe --DRT-covopt="srcpath:./source dstpath:./cov"

By specifying "srcpath" there are 2 empty files created in folder 
cov:
source-app.lst
dependencies-dep.lst

I thought by specifying "srcpath" I limit the code coverage 
generation to the files located in folder source...

Kind regards
André
