Subject: startstop_node.py: remove redundant --basedir check that failed tests
X-Git-Url: https://git.rkrishnan.org/specifications/%5B/%5D%20/(%5B%5E?a=commitdiff_plain;h=15720c4f179bab12d9505da99f5696200f52db13;p=tahoe-lafs%2Ftahoe-lafs.git

startstop_node.py: remove redundant --basedir check that failed tests

startstop_node.start() already checks that the basedir exists and emits
an error message. The extra check in StartOptions.parseArgs() caused
unit tests to fail (because none of the sample directories tested,
including ~/.tahoe, exist). So I removed the redundant check.
