yay -S mythtv-git --editmenu is just a better way of building a AUR
packages PKGBUILD file.  If you view the mythtv-git PKGBUILD file you will
see 33.1 listed twice. Once in the pkgver=v33.1.r10.g0682d4d42d statement
and once in the source=(
    "git+https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv#branch=fixes/33"
section.

The pkgver is not important, but at the first part of the build you will
see some messages about building it.  That is not the case.

If you change:
    "git+https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv#branch=fixes/33"
to
    "git+https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv#branch=master"

it will build Pre-34 Master.

When yay -S mythtv-git --editmenu  starts it will ask questions about clean
building and view diffs, etc.  Just hit enter EXCEPT on the question about
the package to edit.  To that questions you enter the number listed beside
the mythtv-git package.

Then it should ask you about which editor to use. I select 'nano' and then
go through the PKGBUILD file with nano and make the changes.  Then you save
and exit the editor and the build will continue.
