For what it's worth, I'm in favor of renaming the things.

IMHO, we do not need that kind of baggage. Sure, you explain it once and
people hopefully remember -- except that they don't, not always anyway,
and novice users can't be expected to be notice, let alone repair, that
kind of damage.

*I* make that stupid pull/fetch/merge mistake sometimes, 
and I'm not exactly new to git...

The new programs can (for the most part) recognize when they're called with
"old" semantics, and spit out a warning.
