Description (last modified by )
makemessages requires that one of three flags be passed to specify locales for message building: --locale to explicitly specify locales, --exclude to specify locales to exclude, or --all to build message files for all locales.
When non of these flags are present, the command doesn't show any errors for the user. According to the source code, it should raise CommandError, but that never happens because of a bug in an if statement that checks if a locale has been specified.
I've already fixed this in my fork and have submitted a small PR.

Please point out if there are any other necessary steps to move this forward. Thanks!
