title: Django 1.7 - App 'your_app_name' does not have migrations
body: <p>I am trying to upgrade from Django 1.6.7 to Django 1.7.1, so I have been trying to migrate my app.</p>
  
  <p>I have followed the <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/migrations/#adding-migrations-to-apps" rel="noreferrer">django docs here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I deleted the south from my installed apps.</p>
  
  <p>In the migration directory, I delete the numbered migration files and the .pyc files but I kept the directory &amp; __ init__.py file.</p>
  
  <p>I then run :</p>
  
  <pre><code>python manage.py makemigrations your_app_name
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I receive the following confirmation message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Migrations for 'your_app_name':
    0001_initial.py:
      - Create model UserProfile
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Next I run:</p>
  
  <pre><code>python manage.py migrate your_app_name
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I received the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>CommandError: App 'your_app_name' does not have migrations (you cannot selectively sync unmigrated apps)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As per the docs, I also ran:</p>
  
  <pre><code>python manage.py migrate --fake your_app_name
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I received the same error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>CommandError: App 'your_app_name' does not have migrations (you cannot selectively sync unmigrated apps)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Can anyone shed some light on why this will not work for me?</strong></p>
