Comment (by Seth Syberg):
FWIW I was able to unblock myself here, but something still smells very
odd to me, I'll add some details for posterity/anyone who ends up here.
Maybe this is better suited as a feature request to (1) better handle
custom user models and (2) make debug output more helpful.
As I googled around about this I found lots of info about custom user
models/auth causing issues (including this now 8 year old open ticket:
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/25313) so I had a hunch it was
related to this. What finally got me over the hump though was killing the
hung makemigrations (ctrl-c) and attempting to rerun makemigrations gave a
little more information (on the 2nd run it oddly did not hang but errored
with a circular dependency error). This resulted in a flurry changes and
moving add fields around and deleting some other field references that I
was getting errors on and then running makemigrations again, and
eventually I did end up in a stable state. I went from 200+ migration
files across 7 apps to about 12 migration files total and spinning up now
is much much faster.
