Current behavior

db-migrate works great if you're greenfielding a new project. but my project is already live and has a database with existing schema and data. what's the recommended approach for adding db-migrate to this project?

Expected behavior

I expect clear guidance\docs on integrating db-migrate with live projects that already have schema and data. Alternatively, I expect that if db-migrate isn't suitable for projects that already have schema and data, the docs\README make that clear instead.
