36536	Creating nested app using startapp should use full Python path for AppConfig.name	David Sanders		"Currently when you create a nested app with startapp:

{{{
./manage.py startapp example apps/example
}}}

The app config will only set `ExampleConfg.name = ""example""` however the correct value should be `""apps.example""`

I'd recommend this be accepted as a bug with what seems like an easy fix:

 - We should be able to use `settings.BASE_DIR` (if it wasn't removed) and `os.path.relpath()` to check if the specified target directory is within the project and convert it to a Python path if so.
 - If for some reason `BASE_DIR` doesn't exist or the target directory is outside the base dir then we just leave it as the app's name ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"	Bug	closed	Core (Management commands)	5.2	Normal	duplicate			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
