6686	typecast_date(s) in db/backends/util.py crashes if s = None	dmartin@…	nobody	The error concerns the typecast_date(s) function in django/db/backends/util.py.  If s is a !NoneType instead of a null, the s.split('-') command causes the function to crash.  This causes errors when trying to view some objects in the admin and also has been seen to cause errors with django.views.generic.date_based.archive_index.  A simple try & except fixes the problem and doesn't affect normal behavior of the function.  A .diff patch is attached.		closed	Core (Other)	dev		worksforme	typecast_date util.py		Unreviewed	1	0	0	1	0	0
