Description
I have a model that pre-populates an m2m fields on save. However, the m2m field would not get populated correctly when the model was added through the 'admin' interface. I tracked down the problem to the AutomaticManipulator that clears (the just saved) related data. Clearing data for an 'add' doesn't seem to make sense.

Since we're in the process of actively deprecating the whole manipulator framework, replacing it with newforms, this isn't worth changing. It would introduce a backwards incompatibility into an area of code that is only going to exist for providing full backwards compatibility.
If the same problem still exists in newforms-admin once that is completed, then it's worth starting a discussion on django-developers.
Only remove related data on 'change'
