Description (last modified by Raphael Gaschignard)

Because the migration optimizer still has a bit of trouble with reducing operations, you often want to edit squashed migrations and re-run it through the optimizer.

The attached patch contains an implementation of a management command, optimizemigration, that will help speed up this process.

optimizemigration app_name migration_name reads a single migration, pass it through the optimizer, and then rewrite the result to disk. Unlike squashmigrations, this ignores things like the squashed-ness of the migration.

Hi there,

Reviving this ticket, I think this command could be quite useful, especially when you upgrade Django on older projects, and new migration optimizations were added since.

I submitted a PR inspired by the attached patch.

I made a quite specific choice for the logic of the command. By default, it overwrites the named migration. But if some manual porting is required, it will rather try to create a replacement migration. My thought was that, if functions need manual porting, we don't want to lose the code by overwriting the migration file.
Tell me what you think of this :)
