#10148: get_or_create function documentation is not clear enough

------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
get_or_create function documentation doesn't tell that defauts dictionary
argument won't override the attributes when an object already exist in the
database:
{{{
import datetime
from result.models import Game
d = datetime.datetime(2009, 4, 18, 16, 1)
g, c = Game.objects.get_or_create(id=116)
g.start_date
>>> datetime.datetime(2009, 4, 18, 16, 0)
g, c = Game.objects.get_or_create(id=116, defaults={"start_date":d})
g.start_date
>>> datetime.datetime(2009, 4, 18, 16, 0)
}}}
This comportement is not clear in the documentation and should be
specified. Something like this is needed to be sure that the attributes
are updated:
{{{
for k, v in game_attrs_update.items():
setattr(g, k, v)
}}}
