How can I move all git content one-level up in the folder hierarchy?

Question

I have a git repository whose structure looks like:

+--repo.git
|
+----+bootstrap.py
+----+buildout.cfg
+----+.gitignore
+----+webapp
|
+---------+manage.py

Another variant of Sumeet's answer - in the repository directory above "webapp" execute following command:

git mv webapp/* ./ -k

-k - includes files which are yet not under version control, otherwise you get:

fatal: not under version control, source=webapp/somefile, destination=somefile
