I'm sorry but eselect-repo is supposed to contain no VCS support of its own. Instead, it relies entirely on the package manager to do the syncing. It can't do what you're asking for without violating this principle. I can add a 'rename' option if you'd find that helpful. However, it's also trivially doable via editing repos.conf, so I'm not sure if there's a point.
