So 'git-update-cache --add *' would seem to be the next step.

However this fails with a message 

error: JavaSource: is a directory
fatal: Unable to add JavaSource to database; maybe you want to use --add

Sorry, that is not a very helpful error message.

We do not track 'directories'.  Only files and symlinks, which
could live within subdirectories, and that's why you got that
error message -- you told it to add a directory.  You'd need
something like this:

    $ find * ! -type d -print0 | xargs -0 git add
