git - bootstraping a SparkleShare project

I just tried SparkleShare as a possible replacement for dropbox/insynch. It looks quite promising, being based on open standards.

I was wondering if someone has gone though the process of "bootstraping" a SparkleShare project. I have the initial files I would like to keep synchronized on two clients and the server (as plain files). I was wondering if there would be a way to set a project up so that I would not need to download/upload all the files back and forth (as they are readily available on all three systems). I guess this would involve some git kung-fu I am far from mastering.

Thanks!
