We are getting lots of conflicts with migration numbers in merge props.

What are thoughts on using date time stamps (UTC format) instead of sequential numbering?

So instead of:

021_rename_image_ids.py

We'd use:

20110402122512_rename_image_ids.py (or something similar).

Rails projects now use this naming scheme as the default primarily to avoid merge conflicts. I personally like the a sequential numbering scheme better for many of my smaller projects but the DTS format makes sense when there are many people on a project.

Do SQLAlchemy migrations even support this?
