I wanted to try the FastFixtureTestRunner, but found it didn't work with Django 1.8. I looked at the transaction-management features in Django 1.5 vs. 1.8 and came up with this set of changes.
This patch works well enough that my test suite of 255 tests ran successfully using FastFixtureTestRunner, but my testing wasn't exhaustive: for example, I didn't check that any fixture changes are rolled back as expected.
