You can rename the file with a file manager/mv, but that doesn't change 
any links, of course - which may or may not matter depending on your 
pages and format of your links. grep'ing/vimgrep'ing means this isn't 
too painful on groups that aren't very large.

However, when you have .css and .php local customizations associated 
with your pages, it's easy to miss something. (I started writing a tool 
to manage this, but it's atrophied. I have a pile of atrophy :-|)

That's actually the same question ;-) although slightly bigger, because 
you can have group.css and group.php.
