34568	makemigrations --update changes the name of custom migration name	David Sanders	nobody	"This may be intentional behaviour but the docs don't mention this so creating a ticket to update docs or correct behaviour:

If you create a migration with a custom name:

{{{
$ ./manage.py makemigrations --name foo
Migrations for 'update_rename':
  update_rename/migrations/0001_foo.py
    - Create model Foo
}}}

then running `--update` will change the name ""foo"" to the autogenerated one based on the operations:

{{{
$ ./manage.py makemigrations --update
Migrations for 'update_rename':
  update_rename/migrations/0001_initial.py
    - Create model Foo
Deleted update_rename/migrations/0001_foo.py
}}}

My opinion is that it shouldn't as it violates the principle of least astonishment ''even though the `--name` argument wasn't supplied''."	Uncategorized	new	Database layer (models, ORM)	4.2	Normal				Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
