I'm attaching a unified diff between the current rpmfusion f18 x86_64 
spec and my build for the same box from yesterday's tarball as above. 
It appears to be working for me and reports the expected git number but 
not as the intended version_string.  I have a similar but slightly 
earlier build on the SL6 i686 laptop.

MythTV Version : 4ca9300
MythTV Branch : fixes/0.27

There's still something funny about the handling of the version numbers, 
and some references to version names are non-general.
