22628	min_num on formsets should not just be added to extra.	Stephen Burrows	Stephen Burrows	"The current implementation is slightly broken.

I would set min_num=3 if there should be at least three things. I would set extra=3 if I wanted three blank forms presented.

The implementation that was added in 1.7 means that there will *always* be six blank forms - initial data is *not* taken into account.
To put it another way, if min_num is 3, and extra is 2, and there is initial data for two forms, I would expect to have either 4 forms (2 extra on top of existing objects) or 5 forms (2 extra on top of the minimum.) With the code as it is, I will instead get seven forms - two for the existing objects, and an additional seven from extra.

See note on #9532.

(Is this a release blocker, since it's a bug in a new feature?)"	Bug	closed	Forms	1.7-beta-2	Release blocker	fixed		Tim Graham	Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
