feed entries should be "filled in" when you query with ga:month

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Name of API affected:
Analytics Data Export API

Request summary:

When you query with ga:month, the result feed has "filled in" entries for
each month covered by the timeframe. When you add another dimension, such
as ga:visitorType, these "filled in" entries go away. This is inconsistent
and makes it harder for users to consume the results since they will have
to add in the logic to fill in missing month elements. It would be better
to always have at least one entry per month, and use a null for the
visitoryType dimension.

 <dxp:dimension name="ga:visitorType" xsi:null="true" value="" />

Use Cases:
Displaying the results correctly when a date dimension (ga:month, ga:date,
etc) is present.

We decided not to fix this because there is no common case as to what to fill 
in for missing dimensions. Instead you will have to wrote your own fill in 
logic. There is some sample code on how to fill in missing dates in the 
articles section of the GA developer site.
