26239	Document auto_now behavior with QuerySet.update()	Ahmed Saidi	Duane Hilton	"I don't know if this is a bug or not, but when using `update()`, the DateTime fields with `auto_now` are not updated to the current time. The documentation of `auto_now` doesn't say anything about that situation.
For example:

{{{
#  This won't update `updated_at`:
Order.objects.filter(user_id=7).update(check_count=3)

# You have to explicitly include it in update()
Order.objects.filter(user_id=7).update(check_count=3, updated_at=timezone.now())
}}}
