28082	BaseDateListView should pass all context to subclasses	Leon Matthews	Sebastián Sassi	"Pass the extra_content from get_dated_items() as kwargs into get_context_data() to allow users access to it.

BaseDateListView.get() currently modifies the context after calling get_context_data(), which prevents users from access those data in their base classes. I ran into this suprising quirk when I wanted to access the current month in my MonthArchiveView subclass's get_context_data().

I have created a [https://github.com/django/django/pull/8364 pull request] for a very minimal patch.

(To really tidy things up, we could have all instances get_dated_items() return a single dictionary that we pass to get_context_data as kwargs, but I am a realist on occasion...)"	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Generic views	dev	Normal	fixed	BaseDateListView		Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
