The code in question already truncates the object_repr for the log message to 200 characters, see: http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/tags/releases/1.2.1/django/contrib/admin/models.py#L14 So it is a bit of a mystery why some people run into a problem where the repr apparently has not been cut down to a size that will fit. If you could trace through the code on your system where you see the problem and shed any light on how this is happening, that would be helpful. Alternatively if you could post very specific details of your model, Python version, database version, etc. to ticket #10523 then maybe someone will be able to recreate and figure out what is going on.
