Microsoft have now released their own GIT <--> TFS extension for GIT: GIT-TF

This allows pulling a new GIT repository from TFS or configuring to allow GIT to TFS pushes, which is what you want to do:

(from the documentation)

For a team working with an existing Git repo, a developer sharing changes to TFS using Git-TF would use the following workflow.

# Configure the existing repo's relationship with TFS
git tf configure http://myserver:8080/tfs $/TeamProjectA/Main

# Fetch the latest changes from TFS and merge those 
# changes with the local changes.
# Note, merging is important when working in a team configuration. 
# See "Rebase vs. Merge" below.
git tf pull

git commit -a -m "merge commit"

# Check in the merge commit as a single TFS changeset
git tf checkin

# Push the merge commit to the origin
git push

In addition, the preexisting open-source GIT-TFS solution can be used (from Windows only, Microsoft's solution uses Java and is cross-platform), described in an answer to Git to TFS 2008 one way migration (with history)
