Description

The commit 68847135bc9acb2c51c2d36797d0a85395f0cd35 for ticket #18748 caused a severe regression in join reuse. Chained filters for direct foreign keys do not reuse existing joins at all. For example

qs.filter(fk__somecol__gt=1).filter(fk__somecol__lt=10)

causes two joins instead of one.

The patch at ​https://github.com/akaariai/django/commit/688ec5aca2ca387774016aef78560c199d480b6c fixes the issue and adds various test for join reuse. It actually simplifies the code a little.

As a bonus we can now correctly reuse joins in chained filter() calls when using reverse o2o fields.

I think I will commit the patch soon as currently the code isn't behaving nicely.

Fixed #19500 -- Solved a regression in join reuse

The ORM didn't reuse joins for direct foreign key traversals when using
chained filters. For example:

qs.filter(fksomefield=1).filter(fksomefield=2))

produced two joins.

As a bonus, reverse onetoone filters can now reuse joins correctly

The regression was caused by the join() method refactor in commit

Thanks for Simon Charette for spotting some issues with the first draft
of the patch.
