Just saw this in mythutil --help, while checking for something else.  It 
says it's in master.

$mythutil --help
mythutil version: master [v0.28-pre-2986-g004b87d] www.mythtv.org

Recording Utils Options:
--checkrecordings                Check all recording exist and have a 
seektable etc.
   --fixseektable                   (optional) fix the seektable if 
missing for a recording
