35384	Assigning a file without a name property to a FileField results in file getting discarded silently	john-parton	Jonny Park	"If you assign a File object without a name (A ContentFile or otherwise) to an instance and then save it, the storage backend is not invoked, the data isn't persisted, and the column isn't updated. All without raising an error or even a logger message.

We've isolated the behavior here: https://github.com/john-parton/django-file-field-no-name/blob/dc557c641552b02623f50ef044d73435b9e97ead/test_app/tests.py#L28-L41

There's some discussion here: https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/setting-filefield-imagefield-where-file-has-no-name/30192/24
The general consensus is that some error should be raised.

I'll see if I can submit a patch. I flagged this as Database layer, because the patch will likely be in models.files, not the storage backend.
