GenericRelatedObjectManager get() and get_or_create() should behave like create()

Description

Given the following models and objects:

class Attribute(models.Model):
    content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType)
    object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField()
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

class MyModel(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    attributes = generic.GenericRelation(Attribute)

>>> obj = MyModel.objects.create(name="fred")

I can create Attributes for my objects easily, without specifying content_type and object_id. The create() interface adds the content_type and object_id to kwargs.

>>> obj.attributes.create(name="myattr")

When using get() and get_or_create() without specifying content_type and object_id:

>>> obj.attributes.get_or_create(name="myattr")
...
IntegrityError: null value in column "content_type_id" violates not-null constraint.

Obviously, in order to use get() and get_or_create(), I need to specify content_type and object_id. I propose to use the same behavior as create() for ease of use.

Nevermind, this appears to be working just fine as get_query_set() in GenericRelatedObjectManager does exactly what it should. I'm going crazy.
