Subject: make has-many rels accept a single hashref in populate, if there is just one thing... 
X-Git-Url: http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=refs%2Fheads%2Frfc%2Fpopulate_single_has_many;p=dbsrgits%2FDBIx-Class.git

make has-many rels accept a single hashref in populate, if there is just one thing to insert.  makes it a whole lot easier to insert from parsed config-like files
