abstract=True and ForeignKey('self')

[kovalidis@…]

Have those models:

class TreeModel(models.Model):
    parent = models.ForeignKey('self', null=True, blank=True)

    class Meta:
        abstract=True

class MyModel(TreeModel):
    email = models.EmailField()

When I run:
python manage.py startmigration southtest --initial

I get next:

Creating migrations directory at '/home/alexk/projects/shop/trunk/southtest/migrations'...
Creating __init__.py in '/home/alexk/projects/shop/trunk/southtest/migrations'...
 + Added model 'southtest.MyModel'
