Description

SOLR-2657 points out that all fields show up when you request score and something becides a 'normal' field. To support the strange behavior and avoid it when uncenessary we have this:

    if( fields.size() == 1 && _wantsScore && augmenters.size() == 1 && globs.isEmpty() ) {
      _wantsAllFields = true;
    }

I suggest we advertise in 3.x that expecting fl=score to return all fields is deprecated, and remove this bit of crazy code from 4.x
