Hi, suppose that there is a package foo, packaged for debian as foo. Unfortunately, foo's upstream has gone commercial a few years ago, so there is not much progress in foo's upstream sources. Since foo has a wide user base, some other people have started to maintain foo-patched which has not yet progressed into Debian, but a lot of people roll their own local foo-patched packages.
I would now like to start a coordinated effort to improve foo packaging by introducing foo-patched into Debian and I would like to use alioth as a coordination "center". While I think that for the first time foo and foo-patched would exist parallel to each other, it will probably be that foo will eventually replaced by foo-patched even for the foo package. Is it possible to rename a project on alioth, or should one prepare to live with a project name for all time being, or risk losing project history? Any hints will be appreciated.
