24588	Improve handling apps without migrations while running migrate command.	Andriy Sokolovskiy	Andriy Sokolovskiy	"Consider situation - https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-contrib-comments/1.5 does not have a migration inside.
It depends on Content-Type model.
So we get something like:
{{{
claudep: the traceback shows that the exception happens when syncing apps without migrations
[4:23pm] knbk: that ""worked"" with a big disclaimer on 1.7 but was unsupported, but somehow breaks on 1.8
[4:23pm] claudep: so the issue is ""a unmigrated app depends on an app with migrations""
}}}

The error is `django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation ""django_content_type"" does not exist`.
Steps to reproduce - simply add `django_comments` to clean project and run `python manage.py migrate`. (But, I can reproduce with on postgres, but not on sqlite for example).

We need to improve handling apps, that does not have a migration, and show more user-friendly error rather than throwing exception, which user must investigate."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Migrations	1.8	Normal	wontfix		Daniel Blasco	Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
