16583	Explicitly passing a date to a DateTimeField in a model's create method should override auto_now_add	ian	nobody	"I'm writing some unit tests where I'm testing specific logic based on DateTimeFields in a model.  When I use the .create() method on the model, I pass in a specific datetime to the DateTimeField but it gets ignored and overwritten by the auto_now_add functionality.

The only way I can do what I want is by first creating, then altering the value on the DateTimeField, then saving a second time to override."	Bug	closed	Database layer (models, ORM)	1.3	Normal	wontfix			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
