Stupid question, but... When I'm about to do a cvs commit, where do I
look to find out what the next build is going to be? Do I have to go
to the GlassFish download page, see what the most current build available
is, and add "1"?

I don't suppose the message that CVS includes at the top of my commit
comments can be dynamically generated to include the build number that
my commit will appear in?

How about a file that's part of each module that contains only the build
number? When a build is promoted, the file could be updated in all
modules automatically.
