We don't typically change the shortnames in /TR. It's possible to change
them (which also requires setting up a redirect from the old one to the new
one, because we can't break the existing URLs), but I don't think we'll be
able to get approval to change them just for the reason of wanting to have
more consistent names in the test repo (e.g., having the names be
all-lowercase).
