Sounds good to me.

We repeated the IS part in some related API at one point, but it spills
over 31 characters and I don't think it communicates useful information.

I believe this will do that:

$ cat >> .git/info/attributes <<EOF
*.c filter=barry
*.h filter=barry
EOF
$ git config filter.barry.clean  '!sed s/MatGetMatNullSpace/MatGetNullSpace/g'
$ git config filter.barry.smudge '!sed s/MatGetNullSpace/MatGetMatNullSpace/g'


I do not recommend doing this.
