How to reinitalize a spec

[varunr89]

I am picking up a older spec kit project on a new machine which already has all the files. looks like there is no way to re-initalize a spec kit instead when I initalize it it overwrites the old files and I loose progress on my plan/tasks. Is this a feature gap or am I doing something wrong?

I have similar use case: update the artifacts created by earlier version of specify and potentially updated by the me (programmer), when specify has been upgraded.
Here is the manual process, for example:

1. Run specify init a-new-sandbox-project
2. Merge the artifacts in a-new-sandbox-project to those at my existing project initialized by the earlier specify and updated by me.

I wish there is a specify sub-command to automate the above process.

If it's already implemented please let me know. Or please share better ideas. Or I'll create an issue to capture the requirements.

I have cross posted the same at #732 with clearer title.
