20392	Rearrange transactional behavior in django.test.TestCase: savepoints around tests	Raphaël Barrois	Tim Graham <timograham@…>	"Leveraging aaugustin's work on `atomic()`, this patch modifies the behavior of `django.test.TestCase`:

* A transaction is opened during `setUpClass` (one atomic per database)
* That transaction is closed during `tearDownClass`
* The database connection is no longer closed after each test function

This allows to create objects and complex state in `setUpClass`, and reuse it through all test functions,
without inter-test conflicts.

This could lead to a single load of fixtures during `setUpClass` (instead of the current `setUp`), thus improving test speed."
