Comment (by davidsarah):

 I pushed patches addressing some of the above comments to
 [https://github.com/davidsarah/tahoe-lafs/commits/1159-no-tac].
 ([https://github.com/davidsarah/tahoe-
 lafs/commit/a7e4cab9c3367048d8ea326f559f65a6accdb8c1] is warner's original
 patch and subsequent ones are mine.) They do not yet address comment:30.

 The {{{-d}}}/{{{--node-directory=}}}/{{{-C}}}/{{{--basedir=}}} option
 isn't working correctly when twistd options are given, because there's
 nothing to separate the tahoe options from thw twistd options. Not sure
 what to do about that, but it interacts with #166.
