Are you sure that's the best advice? 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.

Cheers,
   Paul.
