Switch DB migrations from SQLAlchemy-migrate to Alembic
Registered by
David Ripton
SQLAlchemy-migrate is fine for straight-line migrations, but does not really support branching, needed for clean backports of some but not all migrations to a stable branch. Alembic has better branching support and will meet our needs better. We should switch migration frameworks, and convert our existing migration scripts to Alembic syntax.
