syncdata command

A django admin command that takes a fixture and makes the target database the same as that fixture, deleting objects that in the database but not in the fixture, updating objects that are different in the database, and inserting missing ones. Place this code in your_app/management/commands/syncdata.py You will need to use manage.py (not django-admin.py) for Django to recognise custom commands (see http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/django-admin/#customized-actions). This snippet is the 'loaddata' command with this patch applied: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/7159 (with minor tweaks). The intention is that 'dumpdata' on system A followed by 'syncdata' on system B is equivalent to a database copy from A to B. The database structure in A and B must match.
