20001	BigAutoField for Django 1.5 (patch included)	jim@…	nobody	"This week we upgraded to from 1.3 -> 1.5, and discovered BigAutoField was not yet included in Django. I know this issue has been referenced in a number of tickets over the years. In Django 1.3, we went with the mmcnickle approach discussed in ticket 14286 (https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/14286), but found this difficult to merge into 1.5.

This time, we went with the approach approach suggested by pzinovkin in ticket 56 (https://code.djangoproject.com/attachment/ticket/56/56_bigint.diff). It required tweaking to get it to work cleanly with 1.5

Attached are patches derived from a git clone this morning.
