 Replying to [comment:17 dd32]:
 > The Auto-Updates API responses are currently returning
 `3.7-alpha-20130912` as the version number, if we could get the nightly
 builds script to update the $wp_version field to either a date, or an up-
 to-date revision, I'm sure we can make it happen. The major problem at
 present is that 1 version string can refer to any build in the last week
 or so normally..

 I'm 100% in favour of the nightly build script updating `$wp_version`. I'd
 use the revision number, as that also matches up to a know state of the
 codebase.
