Description

On ​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/generic_views/ there's a URL match using r'/?$' which could cause confusion to new users - as the preceding slash is never sent to urlpatterns, that /? is completely extraneous, but may make people think that sometimes it is sent.

What do you mean confusing to "new users"? I had to think about this for a little while to work out what it might be doing. I agree, it's worth fixing.
