When doing so be sure to explicitly set the model's table name so it's not
derived from the class name or namespace.
### Renaming reserved paths
When a new route for projects is introduced that could conflict with any
existing records. The path for this records should be renamed, and the
related data should be moved on disk.
Since we had to do this a few times already, there are now some helpers to help
with this.
To use this you can include `Gitlab::Database::RenameReservedPathsMigration::V1`
in your migration. This will provide 3 methods which you can pass one or more
paths that need to be rejected.
**`rename_root_paths`**: This will rename the path of all _namespaces_ with the
given name that don't have a `parent_id`.
**`rename_child_paths`**: This will rename the path of all _namespaces_ with the
given name that have a `parent_id`.
**`rename_wildcard_paths`**: This will rename the path of all _projects_, and all
_namespaces_ that have a `project_id`.
The `path` column for these rows will be renamed to their previous value followed
by an integer. For example: `users` would turn into `users0`
