Comment (by Florian Klink):
I also ran into this today, when pulling some models into a separate app.
The [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25648393/how-to-move-a-model-
between-two-django-apps-django-1-7/26472482#26472482 stackoverflow post]
does not work anymore as soon as there are cross-app foreign keys, but
[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30601107/move-models-between-
django-1-8-apps-with-required-foreignkey-references/30613732#30613732 this
example here] does.
In the solution outlined there, a migration inside the new app depends on
a migration of the old app
([https://github.com/halfnibble/factory/blob/step4/tires/migrations/0001_initial.py#L11
see here]), so loading all migrations should at least break as soon if you
remove the old app from INSTALLED_APPS ;-)
Given the currently needed amount of manual work, we should really try to
detect these movements and produce migrations like above.
