Probably a few classes will have to be renamed anyway, it is always better
to have your code in the repository that in private -- just clean them up
and commit, it is no big deal. More important than thzat is that the
architecture changes here and there and that will make debugging more
difficult than just renaming.

Note that for python, there is a mechanism to use both new class names, or
use the old one and get warning about that. Python interface is actually
far more stable than c++ because most functionality is under the wrapper
which is kept almost the same regardless of the underlying changes.
