Answer 1

Would the following work? I tried it on one of my projects and it worked.

1) Clone the git repository to a location different from the directory that contains the unversioned code.

2) Copy the .git folder from the directory created as a result of (1) to the directory that contains the unversioned code.

This effectively achieved for me what Adam Dymitruk steps in his answer above.
