 > Just to understand this correctly.  If I changed my theme name back to
 "Starburst" and "Starburst" existed as a theme in my local folder it
 wouldn't pick the "Starburst" theme from wordpress.org by default, is that
 right?

 No, the theme will likely be overwritten with the theme from the
 wordpress.org theme directory the next time WordPress checks for updates.

 > I think i've possibly misunderstood the logic. If thats the case then i
 think this isn't really an issue more of a mistake i've made when setting
 up this new theme.

 Well, this ''is'' a known issue, and has been for a long time - that's the
 reason the `Update URI` header was designed and implemented: to prevent
 this from happening.
