Developers,

Hold off on running rake db:migrate.  There appears to be an issue with 
one of the migrations.

If you want to run reset_dbs to have a clean database, you will be ok; 
however, a standard db:migrate will fail if you have existing 
environments and repos.

We will email the list when this issue is resolved.

thanks,
Brad
