    Use only TestComplete to perform renaming, so that it updates the necessary project files and references. Don't use any other tools!

    Commit to your local repository, then Push to remote repository.

    Also the Git that is provided with TestComplete, will have limited functionality.

i used testcomplete to perform the renaming as you suggested but for the first of two cloned repos it would not allow me to do the commit/push from testcomplete. i was, however, able to commit/push from the git context menu on the windows folder. for the second of the two i was able to do everything from testcomplete. right after doing the rename in testcomplete both times, the projectsuite had the question mark icon next to it. i used the source control context menu to do the Add process which converted it to a plus sign. 

The end result was that i now have the original and two successfully cloned and edited copies that have the correct and distinguishable names when i open them in testcomplete.

thanks for your help
