As title says, is it possible to rename a github repo like fooBar-for-MySQL-and-PHP to foobar-for-mysql-and-php without killing the link to your repo ? And have there been any issues with common git tools ?

To make this clearer: This question is not about renaming and losing watchers, starrers and forks, it's about changing from uppercase to lowercase, which might have effects like "URL not found". I have too much starrers & forks to simply try this out.

Github's official help section does not note this case (https://help.github.com/).
