This sounds like the same problem I've been having with absolute resolved
paths to local iceberg repos. Here is the script I use to fix them in a way
that survives image moving and renaming. It should be easy to adapt for your
needs. Obviously it would be better if Pharo didn't resolve the paths in
these cases, but at least there is a workaround.

fixIcebergRepoLocations
        "E.g. after an image is moved or renamed, its local Iceberg repos become
broken because the locations are stored as static FileReferences instead of
dynamic FileLocations following the image around. Limitation: assumes all
images are stored in flat folders under root"

        | imageRoot repos |
        imageRoot := FileLocator home / 'Dynabook' / 'Working Images'.
        repos := IceLibgitRepository allSubInstances
                select: [ :e | 
                        e location isNotNil
                                and: [ (FileLocator imageDirectory contains: e 
location) not
                                                and: [ imageRoot contains: e 
location ] ] ].
        repos
                do: [ :e | 
                        | oldPath newPath fixedLocation |
                        oldPath := e location relativeTo: imageRoot.
                        newPath := RelativePath withAll: oldPath segments 
allButFirst.
                        fixedLocation := FileLocator imageDirectory withPath: 
newPath.
                        e location: fixedLocation ]
