25904	--fake-initial does not work for ManyToMany with through Model	Maciej Pawlisz	Tim Graham	"I came across this issue when migrating from django 1.6.11 and south. When model has ManyToMany field then automatic initial migration contains `AddField` operation for this field, which of course is not present in database, so django thinks that it cannot fake this migration.

How to reproduce:
`fake_through.models.py`:
{{{
from django.db import models
class A(models.Model):
    b = models.ManyToManyField('B', through=""C"")

class B(models.Model):
    pass

class C(models.Model):
    a = models.ForeignKey('A')
    b = models.ForeignKey('B')
}}}
commands:
{{{
python manage.py makemigrations fake_through
python manage.py migrate fake_through
python manage.py migrate fake_through zero --fake
python manage.py migrate fake_through --fake-initial
django.db.utils.OperationalError: table ""fake_through_a"" already exists
