#24132: auth_permission name field is too short

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.
