Thanks Dale,

I have to use the Metacello scripting API though... and according to 
its docs[1] that means to simply fetch (with cacheRepository set) and 
thereafter a load (also with cacheRepository set).

I have been trying to get just this bit to work as per the docs... Are 
those docs correct? Should this work via the scripting API?

I figured that repositoryOverrides will just help when it comes to the 
ConfigurationOf/BaselineOf classes themselves. And I dont see anything 
about repositoryOverrides in those scripting API docs.

I also struggle to understand how docs of the one API apply to the 
scripting API etc
