Delay in Upgrades to 2.20.x

As a part of the 2.20.0 upgrade, there is an optional (for now) migration script that will modify the classification of existing repositories in the instance. At some point in the future, this migration will become mandatory. We'd like to invoke this migration now, but we are unsure what the exact impact to the existing repositories will be. As such, we will be delaying the 2.20.x upgrade until such time as we are able to test the migration script on a development instance of Enterprise Server, and document exactly what the impact will be. Therefore, until we test out the migration script on a 2.20.x instance of Enterprise Server, we will be keeping the github.ncsu.edu deployment on the 2.19.x release branch. This will apply security patches and fix critical bugs, but will not introduce any new features or improvements. We're excited to take advantage of some of the new toys coming in 2.20.x, but we want to make absolutely sure we know what the repository migration impact will be before we roll it out.

Storage Expansion

The storage has already been allocated in VMWare for the server, but we need to make the additional storage visible to the GitHub software, and that requires putting the service into maintenance mode and then restarting the server. We have scheduled downtime for Sep 13th at 5:00PM to perform the storage expansion.
