As far as I could see there the code does seem to already handle the
rename. This part of builtin/branch.c is what seems to be ensuring
that,
if (strbuf_check_branch_ref(&oldref, oldname)) {
/*
* Bad name --- this could be an attempt to rename a
* ref that we used to allow to be created by accident.
*/
if (ref_exists(oldref.buf))
recovery = 1;
else
die(_("Invalid branch name: '%s'"), oldname);
}
