Hi,
I am new to question. Please help me with this.
I copied an already existing project from a remote server using scp to my
local directory.
The contents of this directory are
  branches
  config
  description
  HEAD
  hooks
  info
  objects
  ref

I checked all the directories and sub-directories but could not find a
single source code file (in C language).
All I can see at the leaf level appear to be MD5 hash code.

It is SHA-1

Is there any command to retrieve the source files ?

try this:

  git clone . ../Histogram

But others are right, and you should have used git clone, instead of scp.
