Description changed by daira:

Old description:

> directories containing only ``node.url`` and maybe ``private/aliases``.

> ``-C/--basedir`` only works for commands that create or
> start/restart/stop nodes.

> This is too confusing.

New description:

 `-d/--node-directory` works for all commands, and for "stub" node
 directories containing only `node.url` and maybe `private/aliases`.

 `-C/--basedir` only works for commands that create or start/restart/stop
 nodes.

 This is too confusing.
