22257	Write to specified file for dumpdata	Gwildor Sok	ANUBHAV JOSHI	"In response of ticket #22251, I'm opening this as a separate issue like requested. You can read the need for this option there, but basically it removes the current need and practice of redirecting the output of the command to a file, which is often done like this:

{{{
$ ./manage.py app1 app2 .. --format=json > dump.json
}}}

Removing the need to always do this would open up the possibility to add verbosity during the serialization (see #22251 and a new separate ticket for that).

Concrete proposal:
Add an option to specify a file name to write the output to (under the current working directory), and generate one automatically when one is not specific (e.g. ""dump_20140312_1337"".json/.xml"")."	New feature	closed	Core (Management commands)	dev	Normal	fixed		anubhav9042@…	Accepted	1	0	0	1	0	0
