5679	Can't assign GEOS geometries to a general GeometryField	Robert Coup	jbronn	"{{{
class MyModel(models.Models, models.GeoMixin):
  geom = models.GeometryField() 
  ...

my.geom=Point(0,1)
>>> cannot set GEOMETRY GeometryProxy with value of type: <class 'django.contrib.gis.geos.geometries.Polygon'>
}}}

GeometryProxy checks the geometry type of the new value against that of the field, but it doesn't make a special case for a GEOMETRY column (which can have any sort of geometry assigned).

Attached patch resolves.
