The docs need to point out that session data is retained when going from anonymous session to a logged in session retains data set during the anonymous session, but that sessions are cleared entirely when logging out.

The first bullet point in the email is incorrect - the flush code does delete the session, causing a new session id to be created.

Patch needs improvement: set

"Note that when logging in session," the grammar is off, not sure what exactly you meant

Also this is a change to a docstring, and Django's docs are not autogenerated, so docs should also be updated in the source files of the sphinx documentation.

OK, I amended the patch: the grammar was improved and a note in sphinx docs was added.
