Comment (by andrewgodwin):
Well, the bug mentioned above is definitely not to do with the empty
migrations folder (which, as was correctly posted, is so new apps are not
ignored by makemigrations - we can remove the empty folder when we
deprecate the syncdb-style path in 2.0, as at that point makemigrations
can assume everything has migrations).
The root of the cause here seems to be the custom user model, which as the
docs mention in several places, must be made in the first migration of an
app. ``makemigrations`` is meant to have code that ignores this style of
error while it's running (as you may be doing it to make the migration for
said user model), but I've not seen that result in this error before -
usually it manifested as a graph dependency error (as the migration
depending on the custom user model would have a dependency on an app with
no migrations).
I'm not sure what the Django bug is here - the original reporter or people
more familiar with CMS will need to dig down and either give a simple
project that can reproduce the issue (i.e. one without the intricacies of
CMS) or work out why it's trying to import PageUser when, as far as the
CMS bug says, it's someone's own personal custom user.
