Chris;

Thanks for the reply.  --version sent to you off-list.

However, more digging revealed that the cut and paste I used
disguised the true branch.

The problem (my problem) is that in ~/.gitconfig, I have
lines like:

 [color]
    branch = always
    ...

and that causes version.sh to store the branch as:

 <ESC>[32mmaster<ESC>[m

That makes master print in green. Thus, the 'master' check in 
themechooser.cpp fails.

Simplest solution, I removed the branch = always line
from .gitconfig.

To prevent future noise, I'd suggest changing the line
that develops the branch name in mythtv/version.sh from:

  BRANCH=$(git branch | sed ...

to

  BRANCH=$(git branch --no-color | sed ...

I'd be happy to write a ticket on this if its not wasting
everyone's time.
