Anssi Kääriäinen 1261c49690 [1.8.x] Fixed #23372 -- Made loaddata faster if it doesn't find any fixtures.
Django's test suite often tries to load fixture files from apps that have
no fixtures at all. This creates a lot of unnecessary disabling and
enabling of constraints which can be expensive on some database.

To speed this up, loaddata now first checks if any fixture file matches.
If no fixture file is matched, then the command exits before disabling
and enabling of constraints is done.

The main benefit of this change is seen on MSSQL, where tests on
Django 1.8 run hours faster.

The documentation in this tree is in plain text files and can be viewed using
any text file viewer.

It uses ReST (reStructuredText) [1], and the Sphinx documentation system [2].
This allows it to be built into other forms for easier viewing and browsing.

To create an HTML version of the docs:

* Install Sphinx (using ``pip install Sphinx`` or some other method)

* In this docs/ directory, type ``make html`` (or ``make.bat html`` on
  Windows) at a shell prompt.

The documentation in _build/html/index.html can then be viewed in a web browser.
