I personally feel that the benefit of being able to make sure you 
covered everything outweighs the size of initial diff.

IMHO the difficulty of finding bugs is proportional to the square of the 
diff size, while the number of people willing to review it is proportional 
to its square root. So, if it is not difficult (which it is not at all in 
this case), I politely ask to cut the patch size down.

Yeah, your "renaming in private while you are making sure but
rename them back" suggestion actually would work in this case.
