13900	New admin feature: Delete and replace with existing object	Riccardo Di Virgilio	nobody	"i would like to edit django.contrib.admin.options.ModelAdmin.delete_view and add a helpful feature.

Instead of deleting all the nested objects, the delete_view could handle 3 options:

1. delete all the related objects (current option)[[BR]]
2. where the foreign key to the current instance is nullable, null or delete[[BR]]
3. replace all the related objects with an other model instance (we can make a user choose it with a forms.ModelChoiceField)[[BR]]

i really would like to contribute to this feature, because i need to do this in my admin site, but i'm new, so please help me :)

bye bye
