Problem running django svn trunk (rev 6403): "NameError: global name 'subcommand' not defined"

[thomas@…]

Ran my unittests with django svn trunk last updated about 2 weeks ago (sorry, no longer have what rev that was) successfully. Updated to latest trunk (rev 6403) and then got this error:

thomas$ python manage.py test

No code changes between test runs with previous and latest django revs.

Looks like this might have been introduced earlier today with changeset [6402].

[davisp]

Preliminary patch looks like it fixes things

[davisp]

This looks like a simple typo mixing up subcommand and name. I changed it and it makes things not spew out warnings.

[thomas@…]

Confirmed: Changing subcommand to name on line 120 of django.core.management.__init__ resolved my error and my tests run successfully again. It was fun digging into that part of the django codebase :-)

(In [6404]) Fixed #5566 -- Fixed typo from [6042]. Thanks to thomas@… and mir for bringing attention to this.
