Can I change the github replication name from uppercase to lowercase without losing the target of the link?

As the name says, is it possible to rename the github repository, for example fooBar-for-MySQL-and-PHP , to fooBar-for-MySQL-and-PHP , without killing the link to your repo? And were there any problems with common git tools?

To make this clearer: this question is not about renaming and losing observers, stars and forks, but a change from upper to lower case, which can have effects such as "URL not found." I have too many old men and forks to just try this.

In the official Github help section, this case is not noted ( https://help.github.com/ ).

For repo page this is not a problem

However, the big issue for the Github Pages is

 There isn't a GitHub Page here.
 Are you trying to publish one?  We'll send you an email when your page has been 
 built.  It may take up to ten minutes until your page is available.

In conclusion, do not do this.
