The tool itself is very young and is not well documented yet. Although
the first version has been recently released under dual GNU GPL and LGPL
licenses:
http://ispras.linuxfoundation.org/index.php/Upstream_Tracker
We are not recommended to use this version of the tool by yourself. Very
soon we will release 1.1 version containing a lot of bug fixes and new
features.
