I had a similar desire with git-svn; instead, what I do is a 
git-filter-branch that renames all the files in the repository.

man git-filter-branch gives you one way to do that; I basically 
re-invented that due to not scrolling all the way to the bottom, and run 
it every night on the git-svn repo since I want my everything-renamed repo 
to be kept as an up-to-date mirror of the svn repo.

That's my idea for you.
