Old description:

New description:

 For "``tahoe magic-folder invite COLLECTIVE_WRITECAP NICKNAME``" :

 (``COLLECTIVE_WRITECAP`` can, as a special case, be an alias such as
 ``MAGIC:``.)

 1. Create an empty client DMD. Let its write URI be ``CLIENT_WRITECAP``.
 2. Diminish ``CLIENT_WRITECAP`` to ``CLIENT_READCAP``, and
    diminish ``COLLECTIVE_WRITECAP`` to ``COLLECTIVE_READCAP``.
 3. Run "``tahoe ln CLIENT_READCAP COLLECTIVE_WRITECAP/NICKNAME``".
 4. Print "``COLLECTIVE_READCAP|CLIENT_WRITECAP``" as the invitation,
    accompanied by instructions on how to accept the invitation and
    the need to send it over a secure channel.
