Description changed by daira:

Old 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.

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.
