+trac-attack - a simple interface for trac using the XML-RPC interface
+
+trac-attack is currently a simple interface to trac's ticketing using
+the XML-RPC interface.  It's configured with a config file at
+~/.trac-attack.rc.  See trac-attack.rc.example for details.  There are
+also some command-line options:
+
+Usage: trac-attack.py [options]
+
+Options:
+  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+  -t TRAC, --trac=TRAC  Which trac to connect to
+
+The -t option switches between sections in the config file.  If it is
+not specified, then the default option in the main section defines which
+trac section to use.
