Comment (by andrewgodwin):
The original author is correct, CharFields are unique in their behaviour
that the empty value for new NOT NULL instances is assumed to "", much
like BooleanFields used to be False (but of course, that's the database
default anyway).
We should just modify the SchemaEditor to use "" as a default value if the
field is stringable and NOT NULL. I'm pretty sure most code to do this
already exists.
