make_aware calls localize with DST=None, which breaks with a
AmbiguousTimeError when given naive date strings that fall within the
'fall-back' hour. Example: AmbiguousTimeError: 2014-11-02 01:47:44.554654
Celety project has a very elegant solution at https://github.com/celery
/django-celery/blob/master/djcelery/utils.py#L54-L62
I implemented this in my project to clear errors resulting from this years
DST change. When faces with making an assumption, it calculates both
localized aware dates (with and without DST) and takes the min value.
