Django 1.8 ProgrammingError: relation "auth_group" does not exist

I've created a new db for my Django 1.8 app. doing ./manage migrate throws this error:

...

  Creating tables...
    Creating table authtools_user

Traceback (most recent call last):

django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation "auth_group" does not exist

however, installing Django 1.7, migrating the app and then upgrading Django to 1.8 works fine.

I think we need to add new migrations to make this work. You're not allowed to have relationships between an unmigrated and a migrated app.

@gavinwahl, we need to create the initial migration on 1.7 and then make another one on 1.8 because the EmailField default max_length changed in 1.8

#37 has been merged. Does this fix this bug?

Fixes it for me!
