> Since there is a clear benefit from avoiding file names that clash with well-established conventions, version control is a very minor concern and we should not be held hostage by it. Git has a lot less trouble with renames than earlier systems, and here we are talking about straight renames (not file splits), thus there is a one-to-one correspondence. Finally, these files are not changed at great frequency.

Like I said: I would prefer not to rename files at all, if we can
solve the mode issue in some other way.
