I would like to add a property on a Migration to always fake it. Here's
the use-case:
I'm doing initial migrations on an existing database. Two apps have a
circular dependency, so I break out the migrations like this:
a.0001_initial
a.0002_add_field_that_caused_circular_error
b.0001_initial
Running manage.py migrate will run a.0001 and b.0001 as faked
automatically, but a.0002 will fail because it isn't the first migration
in the app, and because it isn't a CreateModel. So I would have to
manually run "manage.py migrate a 0002 --fake".
The above seems fine if you have one database in one state, and have to do
this once. In any system with multiple environments, with multiple states
of the database, with a lot of automation, where you could normally just
run migrate and it always get your database up to speed, you now have to
write a script that does 0002 --fake if the migrations have not been run
yet for app a, otherwise NOT do it. This is very tedious.
Adding a flag to migrations that it always be faked would solve it, so I
could go back to always just running "migrate". If there are other
solutions that are better for getting around it, I'm all ears :)
