FormSet does not respect initial values after binding

[mnbayazit]

After the form is posted, if an empty form is generated, it will be completely empty rather than having the initial values specified on the form. I believe we can fix this by modifying _construct_form like so:

        if self.is_bound and i < self.initial_form_count():
            defaults['data'] = self.data
            defaults['files'] = self.files

And completely remove this chunk from _get_empty_form

        if self.is_bound:
            defaults['data'] = self.data
            defaults['files'] = self.files

I don't know why an empty form should behave any differently after the formset has been bound... it only seems to be causing problems.

Nevermind... I don't my proposed fix works that well. But this is still a bug and I don't know how to get around it :\

When providing a bug report, you should spend less time tell us how to fix the problem, and more time explaining the problem itself. If you're going to provide a code sample, make it a code sample that demonstrates the problem.

I can't work out how to reproduce the problem from the instructions provided; closing invalid. Feel free to reopen if you want to provide a reproducible test case.
