Comment:

 This change caused a regression for a project I work on. When assigning a
 FK ID field to `None`, the FK is now restored on save. Here is a test to
 demonstrate that could be added to `many_to_one` tests.

 {{{
     def test_assign_fk_id_none(self):
         parent = Parent.objects.create(name='jeff')
         child = Child.objects.create(name='frank', parent=parent)
         parent.bestchild = child
         parent.save()
         parent.bestchild_id = None
         parent.save()
         self.assertIsNone(parent.bestchild_id)
         self.assertIsNone(parent.bestchild)
 }}}

 {{{
