Comment (by leif):

 When I tried to use the patches (at
 6f5fe46c8ffd1e74b27e0b6caf0a4ead1e7680be) I found I was unable to create a
 new node without specifying the logdir.

 I think overloading the logdir option to mean "parent of 'incidents'
 directory path to be written to tahoe.cfg" during node creation but
 "directory where twistd.log will be written" when starting an existing
 node is confusing.

 I've pushed some commits to https://github.com/meskio/tahoe-lafs/pull/1
 which add an incidents_dir option to the create node scripts and also
 change the behavior of the runtime logdir option (making it relative to
 the user's current directory rather than the node's basedir). I also
 slipped in a change of allowing web.port to be set by create-introducer
 because it seemed to fit with the new CreateNodeCommonOptions class I made
 for the incidents_dir parameter.
