Try "man clientupdate". I can see I didn't get that linked into the
HTML versions of the man-page, but you will find it at
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/manpages/man1/clientupdate.1.html

There's a typo in the "Configure which hosts receive the new client"
section, there the filename and the ID do not match. It should read:

Configure which hosts receive the new client
    In the client-local.cfg(5) file, you must now setup a
    clientversion:ID line where the ID matches the filename you used for
    the tar-file. So if you have packaged the new client into the file
    linux.v2.tar, then the corresponding entry in client-local.cfg would
    be clientversion:linux.v2.

The webpage linked above has the correct text.
