imagine the following model:
class Test(models.model):
rel = models.ForeignKey("bleh")
if the relation is not resolvable, in case of a typo or if it's in a different file, the user gets a rather unhelpful exception:
Unhandled exception in thread started by <function inner_run at 0x2af9aa4e9668>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/alex/source/svn/django/django/core/management.py", line 1108, in inner_run

if f.rel and self == f.rel.to._meta:
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '_meta'
a quick hacky fix is attached, but i guess it should be done in django.core.management.validate
