Description

VERSION_NUMBER = '1.1.0-SNAPSHOT'
NEXT_VERSION = '1.2.0'

seems to mean I am currently developing the 1.1.0 version, and when I'm done, I will tag this as a 1.1.0 release and start working on
the 1.2.0. Yet, when I call the release task, I get a tag called '1.2.0', not '1.1.0'.

Alex Boisvert suggests an improvement.

I would prefer to have:

VERSION_NUMBER = '1.1.0-SNAPSHOT'

1. No more NEXT_VERSION

and do a release, the tag would be 1.1.0, released artifacts would be 1.1.0
and after the release the new versions would be:

VERSION_NUMBER = '1.1.1-SNAPSHOT'

and if you want to change the next version number, edit the file and commit.
