It's only my opinion obviously, but i rather prefer an approach of 
fixing build issues first, and then renaming everything, as I like to 
have each patch build at every step of the way. You probably know 
better, but from a cursory look, you should be able to keep 
progressively changing things but also keep everything building 
correctly every step of the way.
