This would depend a bit on how you installed the project to start with.
If you installed it with gitfiletree/remote git repo, then you can follow what
you've just posted, because it's the same.
However if you installed it via the github:// protocol (or it was automatically
pulled in via some other project's BaselineOf or ConfigurationOf),
then it's a bit of pain, because you can't just pull in another project with
the same baseline (Metacello it thinks it's a different project).
Luckily, you should be able to explicitly permit the conflict:
Metacello new
baseline: 'MyProject';
repository: 'gitfiletree://wherever';
onConflict: [:ex | ex allow ];
load
We should be documenting these things somewhere…
