On the PHPMyAdmin home page after logging in, it shows the git revision branch, date and user, but they are not set after I've checked out the code from git. Screen shot attached.
Then untar it to a blank folder (.git folder is created), then run git checkout master --force. In that PMA instance, you'll be able to reproduce the bug.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
On which branch is set your repository (the output of "git status")?
It's on 'master', but of my own github fork (currently has no changes relative to upstream repo).
I don't see the reason. Sorry, this does not have an impact on our users, closing for now.
Fixed by https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/pull/238
This bug still appears randomly for me, will try to keep track when it does.
