10792	documentation error on ModelForm ModelChoiceField empty option	Carl Meyer	Carl Meyer	"The ModelForms documentation at the bottom of [http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/#field-types the ""field types"" list] states:

{{{
The blank choice will not be included if the model field has blank=False and an explicit default value (the default value will be initially selected instead).
}}}

It is true that the default value is initially selected if given, but it is not true that the ""blank choice will not be included"".  It is included regardless, unless empty_label is explicitly set to None.

I would consider the documented behavior here to be better than the actual behavior, but given backwards-compatibility it's probably the docs that need to change."		closed	Forms	dev		fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
