29948	Single empty TransactionTestCase fails with IntegrityError	Matt Westcott	nobody	"https://github.com/django/django/commit/b3b1d3d45fc066367f4fcacf0b06f72fcd00a9c6 (#25251) appears to have introduced a regression where a TransactionTestCase consisting of a single empty test fails on teardown with an IntegrityError.

To reproduce:

* start a new project (`django-admin startproject testproject ; cd testproject`)
* add a new app (`./manage.py startapp foo`, add `'foo'` to INSTALLED_APPS)
* change foo/tests.py to the following:

{{{
from django.test import TransactionTestCase


class TestFoo(TransactionTestCase):
    def test_foo(self):
        pass
}}}
* `./manage.py test` now fails with:
