Description
The testing tools documentation says "At the start of each test case, before setUp() is run, Django will flush the database [...] Then, all the named fixtures are installed [...] This flush/load procedure is repeated for each test in the test case"
But 1.8 release notes say "Fixture loading within TestCase is now performed once for the whole TestCase."
if you can confirm the first part is at least ambiguous, i'd fix that if wanted.
