You can also git init a non-empty directory.

I have a script to set up a new throwaway VM with my dotfiles using git.
It looks a bit like the following ($BRANCH != master):

 SSH="ssh $DEST"
$SSH "cd; $GIT init"
 git push --receive-pack=$GIT-receive-pack $DEST:~/.git $BRANCH
 $SSH "
     $GIT pull . $BRANCH
     $GIT submodule update --init
 "

It relies on the ability to git init a non-empty directory. $BRANCH can be master if you use the new updateInstead functionality in git 2.3.0, and you can use git pull from a remote location instead of the push/pull pair if that suits you better.
