There is no real documentation apart from the source code itself, I'm afraid.

The easiest way to do that, is to create a OSM file of your data, then
import with ./utils/update.php --import-file <your boundary file>

Please remember that you are creating a derivative database with that process
and the restrictions of ODbL in terms of share-alike may apply.
