If someone has a repo from before the renaming, with no additional commits of their own, then git fetch will leave them with exactly the same result as a fresh cloning, without all the commits being redownloaded. If they do have commits or branches of their own then git fetch additionally avoids losing them.

Sorry, it's "git fetch --prune" that will bring in the new branch names
while removing the old ones.
