There is no difference in those two commands. Your question is answered by the third line you have.
The only thing that takes place when this command is issued is a rename of the historical information for one host. This can be used, for example, if you typo a name. IE: you have mommie.domain.tld and it should be mommy.domain.tld and for the past week mommie.domain.tld has been collecting information and you'd like to keep it.

Hii all!
This is regarding to this command:
~/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "rename OLDHOSTNAME NEWHOSTNAME"
Description: move your historical data over to the new name
Is this also possible if I will just move only the host data to another host? Like this one,
~/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "rename HOSTNAME TARGETHOSTNAME"
The target host has no client but is defined in the bb-hosts file.
