I can't see why this wouldn't work. Give it a try. The only thing I can 
think of is that Git doesn't track empty directories (I don't know if 
that is an issue for you). One trick is to use a dot file in the empty 
directory - sigh.

When doing this in the past I wanted to preserve all of the history in 
mtn when transferring to git, as sometimes one goes down interesting 
paths that do lead to useful code, just not useful in the current 
context. Something you may want to consider.
