19515	Increase the max_length of Redirect.old_path/new_path	s.shanabrook@…	Michael Howitz	"In `django.contrib.redirects` the the `old_path` and `new_path` have `max_length=200`. This presents problems when either of the paths has a longer length than 200. `URLField` used to have a `max_length=200`, but this was resolved [1477] and isn't even applicable, since the path fields use `CharField`s, not `URLfield`s.

I would recommend a `max_length=2000`. URL's with a length over 2000 are [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/417142/what-is-the-maximum-length-of-a-url not as well supported]. However since [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/databases/#character-fields database enforcement of CharFields in MySQL is limited to 255 characters], the fields have to be also changed to `TextField`s."
