They are currently the same version.  They may not be the same version 
when this hits your inbox (thus David's statement about not being able 
to assume...).

Check currentDatabaseVersion in mythtv/libs/libmythtv/dbcheck.cpp in the 
-fixes branch and make sure it's greater than or equal to the version 
you're currently using.  The schema version number appears in the 
automatic backup you get (in trunk/0.21-fixes) before a schema change 
(i.e. mythconverg-<schemaver>-<datetime>.sql (perhaps .gz, too)).
