Description
Would propose adding this option to the command loaddata:
-e EXCLUDE, --exclude=EXCLUDE An appname or appname.ModelName to exclude (use multiple --exclude to exclude multiple apps/models).
Sometimes it can be useful if you have a file with data from multiple applications / models, and we want to import only a portion of the data.

Seems useful. Recently I've faced a similar problem. Will give it a try.

Guys, I've got a somewhat meta question: Shall I always squash my minor fixes to PR and push --force
them, or shall I leave them as separate commits? Which way is the preferred one?

If it's a huge PR, incremental commits can make follow up review easier. In this case, the patch looks small enough that you could squash right away.

Thank you, @timgraham. I've pushed the updated (and squashed) PR. All lights are green. It'd be nice if you review the code. I'm not sure about the source argument. Looks clumsy, but I haven't thought out another way of keeping the output compatibility. Is that OK?

Left a few more comments and branch needs a rebase to merge cleanly.

Summary: | loaddata - during import exclude some applications → Allow loaddata to exclude some apps or models |
Updated PR from Berker.
I am going to mark this accepted. I don't feel strongly in one way or another about this issue, I just want to get this out of unreviewed triage stage.
