I've updated the data model of my django project and run manage.py sql <app_name> to check the changes.
I obviously made an error but rather than reporting it, the current svn revision of django breaks with the following traceback:
brickitserver|~/py/djbrickit> python manage.py sql repository
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "manage.py", line 11, in <module>

rel_opts = f.rel.to._meta
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '_meta'
By contrast, svn revision 5000 gives this nice informative error message for the same command:
brickitserver|~/py/brickit/djbrickit> python manage.py sql repository
Error: One or more models did not validate:
djbrickit.repository: name 'BRICK_Format_CHOICES' is not defined
The offending part of my model looks like this:
class Biobrick:
BRICK_FORMAT_CHOICES = ( ('classic', 'classic biobrick format'),... )
...
brick_format = models.CharField( 'format of Biobrick', maxlength=30,
choices=BRICK_Format_CHOICES,
default='classic' )
...
