Just a word of caution here.


Creating a branch for a theme doesn't magically make sure it will work 
properly with a particular version of MythTV it may require updates to 
make it work properly. The intention was always to leave it up to the 
theme creator to decide if the theme was usable or not. Thankfully 
changes that require theme updates are few and far between these days so 
the chances are it will likely mostly work OK but there is no guarantee. 
If you do find something that is broken on you chosen theme then I'm 
sure either the theme creator or a dev will be happy to receive a patch 
to fix it :)
