Whenever I use script/generate to generate a new scaffold for a change to my Rails database, the new migration file is prepended by a datestamp (e.g. 200903140912_create_users.rb) instead of a sequence number (e.g. 004_create_users.rb).

I then have to manually change the file name to fit in with the rest of the migration files.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

    This was introduced in Rails 2.1. According to the migrations docs, you can revert it by setting config.active_record.timestamped_migrations to false in config/environment.rb.
