Answer 1

Perhaps this is "backwards", but I've always done

git clone --bare localrepo localrepo.git
scp -r localrepo.git remoteserver:/pathTo
mv localrepo localrepo-prev
git clone remoteserver:/pathTo/localrepo

prove out the new repo is fine, with git status/log etc to make me feel better

move any files not under version control from -prev to the new localrepo

rm -rf localrepo.git localrepo-prev
