u'''
If you use this pattern to track changes in the auth user table:

    from django.contrib.auth.models import User
    from reversion.helpers import patch_admin
    patch_admin(User)

you can't see important changes, since a version is created for every
login if a user. If you want to get rid of changes which only change
unimportant stuff you can use this middleware.


Edit your settings. Example:

REVERSION_CLEAN={
    'django.contrib.auth': {'User': ['last_login']},
    }

Usage: manage.py reversion_clean
