34052	migrate --check still emits signals if database is up to date	Jacob Walls	JunKi Yoon	"`pre_migrate` and `post_migrate` signals are emitted for `migrate --check`, but only if the database is up-to-date.

A related side effect is that the logs also look like a like a real run, as it says ""Operations to perform:"" and ""Running migrations:"". The last sentence clarifies that nothing has been applied, but there is still the potential for a half-second of ""what have I just done?"".

{{{
% python manage.py migrate --check          
Operations to perform:
  Apply all migrations: admin, auth, contenttypes, sessions, social_django
Running migrations:
  No migrations to apply.
