Thanks for this Nick. I solved my problem by re-git-cloning the org-mode
repo, but this time I called it "org-mode" instead of the previous
"org-mode-master". And now M-x org-version shows -
╭────
│Org-mode version 8.2.7c (release_8.2.7c @ /home/boudiccas/git/org-mode/lisp/)
╰────
which is what I've been looking for all along :)

Thanks
Sharon.
