build number for a jdk-*-ga tag?

[Erik Joelsson]

Hello Matthias,

Looking at the tags in the repo, jdk-12-ga points to the same change as 
jdk-12+33, so that would be the build number we released. If you 
download the binaries from http://jdk.java.net/12/, the version string 
reported from those builds also say 33:

$ bin/java -version
openjdk version "12" 2019-03-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 12+33)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 12+33, mixed mode, sharing)
