33183	"keepdb results in ""Using existing database"" log line, even when no database exists"	Valentijn Scholten	nobody	"The log output for running tests with `--keepdb` can be confusing:

- make sure no test database exists
- run a test with `--keepdb`
- observe log output `Using existing test database for alias 'default'...`
- observe that a new test database is created now, without any log output (unless there are migrations which output logs)

Offending code: https://github.com/django/django/blob/ca9872905559026af82000e46cde6f7dedc897b6/django/db/backends/base/creation.py#L44

Solution:
Update log lines to reflect what's happening.
