Is there a common practice how to apply migrations for staging systems 
running various feature branches?

Assume there is a db of significant size, and feature branches including 
migrations are pushed to this server instance.

Just calling `rake db:migrate` won't be enough, as often it will be the 
situation that a feature branch introduced a schema change, and the 
subsequently deployed branch doesn't work with it. So at deployment, I'd 
need to roll back one or more migration steps. 

I know this can be done by invoking `db:migrate VERSION=v`. 

But how would you establish what to pass as `v` here from the new branch?

(Or is loading a nightly db dump and uniformly migrate upwards still the 
best idea?)
