title: Entity Framework - Check for pending migrations
body: <p>In our production environment, we have an automated deploy script that takes down our site, runs migrations, and then brings it back online. We'd like to avoid taking the site down by just switching to the new code when there aren't any migrations that need to be run. </p>
  
  <p>Does entity framework have a command like "Update-Database" that would allow us to check if there are migrations to run?</p>
