Renaming a category is changing history. You're changing what revision
$FOO was called when it was checked in; that's part of its history.
Now, if you want to just do this for future revisions, that's a whooole
different kettle of fish. Tag from foo--dev--0.1 to bar--dev--0.1, and
create a new branch foo--new--0.1 (or foo--dev--0.2, or whatever). Now,
you have the correct names for future work, but you haven't changed the
past.
