#25884: migrate --run-syncdb doesn't [seem to] work for app without migrations

As [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/django-admin/#django-admin-
option---run-syncdb the docs state], "the --run-syncdb option allows
creating tables for apps without migrations.". However, this doesn't seem
to work. To demonstrate this, [https://github.com/gertjanol/django-test
I've created a very simple Django project] from the first steps of the
tutorial. When running 'python manage.py migrate --run-syncdb polls' I get
the error "CommandError: App 'polls' does not have migrations.", while I
expected an sqlite-database with the structure.
It makes no difference if I created a 'migrations' directory with just an
'__init__.py'.
Is this a bug, or is this intended behaviour and are the docs off (or do I
not understand them)?
I've managed to get the command working with some minor adjustments to
https://github.com/django/django/blob/1.9/django/core/management/commands/migrate.py,
but I'm too unfamiliar with the code to be sure I didn't break anything
else. I'll try to whip up a PR though.
