To update Magento 2.0.x with sample data, I followed these steps (also works to update to 2.1 RC):

Apply this commit manually (it's a bugfix for the sample data that is released with 2.1)
Reset the sample data modules in Magento
```
 bin/magento sampledata:reset
```

if you get an ErrorException about not found composer.json files, see: bin/magento sampledata:reset tries to read nonexistent composer.json bin/magento sampledata:reset tries to read nonexistent composer.json

Update composer.json without immediately updating dependencies (this would result in a conflict because the old magento module versions are still locked). For 2.0.7:
```
 composer require --no-update magento/product-community-edition ~2.0.7
```
or for the latest 2.1 release candidate
```
 composer require --no-update magento/product-community-edition 2.1.0-rc3
```

[only if you update to >=2.1] Remove the sample data modules from composer.json:

 "magento/module-bundle-sample-data": "100.0.*",
 "magento/module-theme-sample-data": "100.0.*",
 "magento/module-widget-sample-data": "100.0.*",

 "magento/sample-data-media": "100.0.*",
 "magento/module-offline-shipping-sample-data": "100.0.*",

Run the actual composer update:
```
 composer update
```
[only if you update to >=2.1] Reinstall sample data (you might need to apply the patch from (2) again):
```
 bin/magento sampledata:deploy
```
