What is the best way to handle renaming things?

In my case I've got domains listed in a data bag and use the apache2 cookbook to create / manage them.

If I need to rename a domain, but keep all its files around, how best would I do this in an idempotent way?

Should I store the old and current domain name in the data bag and check if they are different and if so create the new domain, move files, then delete the old?

I'm more looking for a pattern since I may need to rename databases and users as well.
