many-to-many self reference - can't do this

[jachuf@…]

I've got Article model which is inheriting from BaseArticle? model. Article has many-to-many self-reference. I found, that I cannot create this type of relationship via South migration - if I use ManyToManyField? in migration it returns None. I tried with mock model and with real model and it didn't work, so I think it is South bug.

Many-to-many fields should work, and I've just finished ironing out a load of bugs with them. Have you tried:

• Looking at the output of ./manage.py startmigration myapp migname --model Foo?
• Trying ./manage.py startmigration myapp migname --add-field Foo.mym2m?

If both of these don't work, I'd appreciate the correct snippet of models.py as an attachment.

I've tested this and it definitely works now, even if it uses too many mock models (no harm is done).
