36185	manage.py migrate --check --prune actually prunes, which is surprising	Ari Pollak		"I ran ""manage.py migrate --check --prune app"" in a Django 5.1.4 app. Based on the description of --check, I expected this to not delete any migrations from the database, but just tell me which ones would be deleted, like a dry run. But it did delete outdated migrations from the django_migrations table.

To avoid surprising destructive behavior in the future, I think ""migrate --check --prune"" should either not be allowed to run with those combined options, or should just report which migrations would be pruned and not actually prune them."
