Hello,

I am not sure what I am asking, so I thought I would start here. If I knew the name of this operation, I would look for it. :)

I have also posted to the git-users google group, but signs there tell me this is the better place.

I have a software deployment that was copied out of a git repository but without the .git directories. Thus, I have no idea what revision this deployment is, so I don't know how to upgrade from git. Is there a method, or script out there that can help me?

The trouble is, I should have made a branch or tag when I deployed it to at least freeze that version. At the very least so I can rebase and re- deploy it again. (I could be wrong about this last statement: I am definitely new to git)

I appreciate any assistance you all can give me...
