pass migrate

[J Rt]

Oooh, sorry I missed this, my bad, and thank you for pointing to this
:) . I think this is exactly what you said: a bit surprising this is
done by the init command. Do you think it would be reasonable to write
a 'thin wrapper' on the init command and call if for example migrate,
with a very easy / rigid syntax, so that n00bs like me do not get
confused and get confident about exactly what they do / how they
migrate? :)
