23599	Default application used in startapp has an empty migration package	Iacopo Spalletti	nobody	"Default application used in startapp has an empty migration package, which results in the MigrationLoader treating it as an application which has migrations (https://github.com/django/django/blob/stable/1.7.x/django/db/migrations/loader.py#L72). This may trigger errors when trying to resolve model dependencies: say for example in a newly created application with a custom user model and an existing application which uses the custom user model and that already has migrations.

For a real case of this happening: https://github.com/divio/django-cms/issues/3436#issuecomment-55913624

Any specific reason for shipping the migration directory in the template application?"	Bug	closed	Migrations	1.7	Normal	invalid	migrations, dependencies, template application	tomas.ehrlich@… Andrew Godwin	Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
