 I am using the official !ArchLinux packages. However mythfrontend version
 says:
 {{{
  MythTV Version : 3543e74
  MythTV Branch : tag: v0.28
  Network Protocol : 88
  Library API : 0.28.20160309-1
  QT Version : 5.7.0
 }}}

 If I check out a tag name I get
 {{{
 MythTV Version : v0.28
 MythTV Branch : (HEAD detached at v0.28)
 }}}

 I do not understand what type of build results in the MythTV version being
 the commit hash and the branch being a string like "tag: v0.28". I tried
 creating a branch with name "tag: v0.28" and the name was invalid, so that
 is not what they did. Perhaps I should force the build to fail on an
 invalid Version (i.e. not starting with v).
