Importing media in a new local instance is useful:

• mass importing when media already available locally
• debugging

After a bit of discussion we agreed on a unit test that shall test all old migrations. To make sure they still work on the current codebase.

Points needed for level 1 implementation:

• Empty db
• fill with models_v0 tables
• Run all migrations

The User object should have a .url_for_self method like the media entries or collections already have.

With the new redirect_obj it should then be as easy as

return redirect_obj(request, user)

to redirect to the user's main page.

So use redirect_obj or at least the .url_for_self around the sources.
