This is when using GNU Emacs 25.2.1 (i686-w64-mingw32) of 2017-04-24

 cd emacs/lisp
 git pull
 git checkout -b scratch/try-rename-a-file
 git mv gnus-cloud.el gnus-cloudly.el
 git commit -m "Rename file gnus-cloud.el to gnus-cloudly.el"

Then open emacs/lisp/gnus-cloudly.el in emacs and do 'C-x v l'
