Results in 24.5.1 for me :-) . According to your information the next
version is then 24.6...

Seriously: Can you *please* give me some *useful* information on how
to determine the next Emacs release in the development tree? May be
this can be obtained by some git command?

You need to git clone the master branch, build emacs and do M-x
emacs-version in that.

Actually you don't need to build&run it, you can just look for

    AC_INIT(GNU Emacs, 26.0.50, bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org

in configure.ac instead.

Start of the top-level README file, or etc/NEWS (which is where you
should be putting any new rst features).

Sorry, I couldn't imagine you were making changes to the code without
actually testing it with the current Emacs sources of the branch into
which you push the changes.  The above command needs to be run inside
Emacs that's built from the branch where you are pushing.

Hi - don't you want 26.1 there?

I also note that Emacs 25.1 seems to contain 1.4.1, and 24.5 1.4.0,
which does not seem to agree with the above alist either?

I'm not following Emacs releases and so what I put in there is more or
less a rough guess. When I commit something to the Emacs `master` then
I'm convinced that it should go into the next available release.

However, I do not know when which release is prepared and what commit
may go in and which not. Some time ago I understood this is a
complicated processes with deadlines and the like and I happily leave
this up to the Emacs community :-) .

The Emacs version number tells you what to use.
Eg current version of master = 26.0.50 -> next release from master will
be 26.1. So you should have used 26.1 in place of 26.2. No need to
guess, or to follow development lists.

Where do I find it?

Can you give me a quick command to find this out? Is it documented
somewhere?

See above.  Yes, in the Emacs user manual, node "Understanding Bug
Reporting".
