Yes, it does maintain an in-memory list of the testnames that it has
seen. But when searching this list, it ignores the upper/lower case 
of the testname.

So doing a rename "TEST->test" ends up doing nothing at all.

Shutdown Hobbit, edit the ~hobbit/data/tmp/hobbitd.chk file and 
change the test name, then start Hobbit again.

If you want to keep your history, you will also have to manually rename
the files and directories in the ~hobbit/data/hist/ and
~hobbit/data/histlogs/ directory.
