-------------------------------+--------------------
 If a model has an attribute whose value changes from development to
 deployment due to a runtime dependency, this can cause migrations to think
 the code has changed. (Whether it has or not is a philosophical question,
 I suppose, but it's not a different set of text.)

 Example:

 In settings.py:
 {{{
 UPLOAD_ROOT = os.path.normpath(os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR, '..', '..',
 'uploads'))
 UPLOAD_URL = '/content/'
 }}}
 In the model:
 {{{
 upload_storage = FileSystemStorage(location=UPLOAD_ROOT,
 base_url=UPLOAD_URL)

 ...

 class Thingie(models.Model):
     image = models.ImageField(upload_to='/%Y/%m/%d',
 storage=upload_storage, null=True, default=None)
 }}}
 The migrations will consider Thingie to have changed from dev to
 deployment based on the change of 'upload_storage'.
