  1. WP checks for updates by sending data about all plugins and themes to the repository. To prevent false update messages for your own code you need to selectively scrub it out of those requests.

    The example for theme by Mark Jaquith:

    function cws_hidden_theme_12345( $r, $url ) {
    if ( 0 !== strpos( $url, 'http://api.wordpress.org/themes/update-check' ) )
        return $r; // Not a theme update request. Bail immediately.
    $themes = unserialize( $r['body']['themes'] );
    unset( $themes[ get_option( 'template' ) ] );
    unset( $themes[ get_option( 'stylesheet' ) ] );
    $r['body']['themes'] = serialize( $themes );
    return $r;
}

add_filter( 'http_request_args', 'cws_hidden_theme_12345', 5, 2 );
