My best guess would be to work with 4 branches in your local git : -one would be pulled straight from the official repository. -one would be a copy of the official repository with the changed names *but no other change* (and you'd build a script to handle the renames automatically) (this'd use git merge from the official branch). -one would have the changed names and your own changes. That's your primary work branch (this'd use git merge from your renamed branch). -one would be used to prepare your changes for repo upload and upstream contribution (this'd use git cherry-pick from your primary work branch).
