There are two main branches on github for PVR: a development branch (opdenkamp/master) and a stable branch that's used to create the ppa builds (opdenkamp/pvr-ppa).
The Dharma-pvr branch (opdenkamp/Dharma-pvr) contains a merge of the old pvr-testing2 with the Dharma tree. No development will happen in the Dharma tree anymore
So, if you just want to use PVR and you're not developing, take the pvr-ppa tree. If you're developing, take the master tree.
How to get the source
To get a local copy of the tree, execute these commands:
This will download the repository.
Then get the pvr-ppa branch if you're not going to develop anything:
