Description Philip Withnall 2012-03-27 09:23:14 UTC 
From bug #663324, comment #30:
> Case 19) When a group is renamed in Google, the change is not propagated to
> Evolution
Comment 1 Milan Crha 2013-07-25 12:41:29 UTC 
Is this still true, supposing we are at 3.8 now?
Comment 2 Philip Withnall 2013-07-28 13:25:22 UTC 
From a quick test, yes, this is still a bug.
Comment 3 Milan Crha 2013-07-29 05:53:43 UTC 
Thanks for the confirmation. I also managed to reproduce it, but I'm not sure whether there is anything to be done. Is the GData return the "rename" record?  The contacts didn't change as such, from the GMail point of view, right?
Comment 4 Philip Withnall 2013-07-29 06:32:04 UTC 
I need to investigate further and see what Google actually send us. The code currently downloads the list of changed groups every time it refreshes, so hopefully something can be done with that.
Comment 5 Milan Crha 2013-07-29 07:19:31 UTC 
That's OK, I will look on this, I rather asked for hints before I dive into it. Of course, unless you've a preference to look on it yourself (I'd like to free few cycles for you).

for evolution-data-server;

This begins to store Google groups into local cache, and if any name of them changes, then the whole book is redownloaded. As we spoke on IRC, it might not be a problem, because group rename is not an often operation. Trying to sync differences in the contacts locally might be too complicated code, and quite tricky.
