I’m wanting to use the acts\_as\_versioned plugin on a versioned table  
that I’ve already created and populated with data, but the  
create\_versioned\_table method is attempting to create the versioned  
table and is failing because the the table is already present.

I’m sure the solution is relatively simple, can anyone help?

Thanks 🙂
