This is a little script to rename your migrations should you ever need  
to  
delete one in the middle of your bunch.

e.g:

$ ls  
001\_foo.rb  
002\_bar.rb  
003\_baz.rb  
$ rm 002\_bar.rb  
$ ruby migration-reorder.rb  
.  
Done; 1 of 2 migrations renamed.  
$ ls  
001\_foo.rb  
002\_baz.rb

Just drop it into your db/migrate folder before running it.

Enjoy  
Ian
