Import of django.contrib.admin.models.LogEntry in reversion.models causes startup error

See original GitHub issue

The top level import of django.contrib.admin.models.LogEntry in the module reversion.models causes a startup error in Django projects that don’t include django.contrib.admin in INSTALLED_APPS:

RuntimeError: Model class django.contrib.admin.models.LogEntry doesn’t declare an explicit app_label and isn’t in an application in INSTALLED_APPS.

Perhaps this import could moved into the Revision.get_comment() method?

That’s a possible solution, as I noted above, but not all projects use the Django admin and IMO shouldn’t be required to “install” it just to avoid this error.

Now that the PR has been merged I think this issue can be closed 😃
