22932	"""makemigrations"" generates circular dependencies"	Manuel Kaufmann	nobody	"I'm having an issue with the new migrations system included in Django. The steps that I'm following to reproduce is, once the example project is downloaded just run:

 1. manage.py makemigrations
 1. manage.py migrate

}}}

If I remove the {{{myapp.team.TeamCaptain}}} model and the migration files already created and I run those commands again, it creates the proper migration files and it works.

I've been taking a look at #22325 but it doesn't seem to be the same situation.

I tried this in Django 1.7b4, 1.7c1 and master and I always got the same error.
