As noted by a couple of people on django-users, FilePathField does not
automatically refresh choices if files are add to or removed from the path
being pointed to (http://groups.google.com/group/django-
users/browse_thread/thread/6778fa138b848996 and
http://groups.google.com/group/django-
users/browse_thread/thread/403d872cf9433905).
A nice addition to FilePathField would be the ability to refresh the path
choices on a per-request basis.

these comment in the PR], I'm re-titling this ticket accordingly to adjust
scope and allow for a more pragmatic yet useful solution.
