最后我写了一个基于populate_history的修改过的脚本。它识别所有没有历史记录的对象，并将它们添加到历史表中。下面是一个简单的版本（没有批处理）。

from django.apps import apps

from simple_history.utils import get_history_manager_for_model, get_history_model_for_model

def populate_model_history(model):
  history = get_history_model_for_model(model)
  history_manager = get_history_manager_for_model(model)

  # Insert historical records for objects without existing history
  # NOTE: A better approach would be to do this in batches, as in populate_history.py
  for instance in model.objects.exclude(pk__in=history.objects.values_list(model._meta.pk.name)):
    history_manager.bulk_history_create([instance], batch_size=1)

model = apps.get_model('app', 'my_model')
populate_model_history(model)

受@beldaz和the tests in simple-history的启发，我简单地调用populate_history作为迁移操作

from io import StringIO
from django.conf import settings
from django.core import management
from django.db import migrations, models
import django.db.models.deletion
import simple_history.models
import uuid

def forwards(apps, _):
    # backfill history
    management.call_command(
        "populate_history", "invoicing.Payment", stdout=StringIO(), stderr=StringIO()
    )

class Migration(migrations.Migration):
    dependencies = [
        # <autofilled by simple history>
    ]

    operations = [
        # <autofilled by simple history>,
        migrations.RunPython(forwards)
    ]
