Of course I've meant "what is going to become 25.1." ;-)

Version numbers are pretty irrelevant with bleeding edge snapshots.  At
best, it tells me which branch your are using, i.e., master vs. emacs-24
branch.  The version on master is

GNU Emacs 25.0.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.16.6) of 
2015-09-18

since the emacs-24 branch has been cut off, and it will stay the same
until emacs goes into the pre-release phase where the version number
will be 25.0.9x.y.

So the only "version number" which makes sense when using emacs
snapshots is `emacs-repository-version'.
