It doesn't work as one might expect on a certain database backend where
autocommits_when_autocommit_is_off = True. That backend happens to be
popular for running tests.
If the fixture doesn't exist, loaddata will output a warning.
The fixture named "initial_data" is exceptional though; if it
doesn't exist, the warning is not emitted. This allows syncdb and
flush management commands to attempt to load it without causing
spurious warnings.
Thanks to Derega, ptone, dirigeant and d1ffuz0r for contributions
