Hi Malcolm,
It sounds like your suggestion is to manually copy each field from the old
instance to the new one. Why not provide a method to automate this?
Also, my patch implements recursion (deep copying). This is not a very
straight-forward thing to do, so it seems like having one implementation
that works in Django core would be useful.
I realize my patch does more than what the ticket reporter was initially
looking for. Would you prefer that I create a new ticket to cover this
additional functionality? I personally do need support for deep copying.
Thanks,
Forest
