Comment (by stevejalim):
May I suggest either an extension to this fix or a note in documentation
about it?
Context: I just hit this issue myself, found the ticket, checked my Django
version and thought all should be well, but I thought it still wasn't
working for me until I actually read the patch.
There's still a subtle gotcha where `makemigrations --list` will still
throw the dependency error, while `makemigrations <app name>` will happily
run. So if somoene gets `Dependency on app with no migrations` when
starting runserver and they then try to check their migrations list, they
will be prevented from doing so and they have no cue to as to what they
can do to remedy things.
It's a corner case, sure, but likely will lead to user frustration for
those stuck in that corner.
If you want a patch for the docs, I'd be happy to submit one. I think the
an aside in the custom user docs seems a sensible place. Anyone disagree?
