auth_permission name field is too short — at Initial Version

Description

CREATE TABLE auth_permission (

id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
name varchar(50) NOT NULL,
content_type_id int(11) NOT NULL,
codename varchar(100) NOT NULL,

)

codename and name are almost identical fields, except name has added spaces and the string "Can" stuck in front of it. Why then is the codename field varchar(100) and the name field varchar(50).

Right now this is causing me grief because one of the model names is long enough to make the name field more than 50 characters.

Now that migrations are part of the core of Django, this should be easy to fix.
