Description (last modified by Adrian Holovaty)

You can use relfield_id (one underscore) as an argument to create an object, and relfield__id (two underscores) as an argument to filter for an object. Unfortunately, with get_or_create, you don't know which one you will need. This means you can't safely specify the id field directly, and have to look up objects in order to use get_or_create.

That should read: 

 relfield_id (one underscore) and relfield__id (two underscores)
