In Django Evolution 2.0, the evolve command is responsible for all

database and model creation, evolution, and migration. There's no longer

a two-step phase, where syncdb or migrate --run-syncdb needs to be

run to create initial models. However, unit tests and legacy code will

still call syncdb or migrate, which could interfere with evolve's

process.
To address this, we now provide replacements for both syncdb and

migrate that just wrap evolve. Some features of both commands had

to be removed, but they're pretty minor and not worth maintaining

support for. For both syncdb and migrate, that means initial_data

fixtures are no longer loaded (which was deprecated anyway), and for

migrate, individual migrations can no longer be applied. We may add

support for both down the road.

Used these commands directly with and without Django Evolution being

enabled.
Ran a couple different consuming project test suites with these

versions of the commands installed.
