 I have noticed a slightly weird logic of makemigration command after
 renaming a field in a model.py.

 So, I did this:
 1. Rename field
 from
 {{{#!python
 descr = models.TextField('description')
 }}}
 to
 {{{#!python
 description = models.TextField()
 }}}
 2. Invoke
 {{{
 manage.py makemigrations
 }}}
 And migration logic decided that I had added a new field //description//
 and asked me to provide default value.

 But if to perform renaming this way:

 from
 {{{#!python
 descr = models.TextField('description')
 }}}
 to
 {{{#!python
 description = models.TextField('description') # note a passed verbose name
 argument
 }}}
 then migration logic works well and recognizes renaming.
