How can I associate local unversioned code to git remote repository?

Question

I need to associate a clean unversioned code to an existing git remote repository.

I explain better my situation. My project is moved from svn to git. I have a svn local working copy with old code (nothing new to commit) that has to be syncronized with the new git repository. I could clone the repo but I should restore many ignored configuration files by hand and I would avoid it.

So I removed all .svn directories and I would track my code with the git remote repository.

Is there a way to do it?

Ok, I post the right answer for my question based on Adam Dymitruk and Eugene Sajine answers. Thanks everyone for the support :)

• First of all, remove all .svn directories in working copy directory;

• initialize new git repository in the working copy directory

  cd /path/to/my/project
  git init
  

• add git remote repository and fetch it

  git remote add origin url-to-your-remote
  git fetch origin
  

• reset working copy to remote repository

  git reset --hard origin/master
  

At the end local repository will be synchronized with remote repository.
