Loading a local repository

I am new to Pharo and sent my first message a couple of days ago. Thanks for the help.  I did a clone of Teapot and had to move the source to my server (because the company doesn't allow it to have Internet access.)  So now I have a /tmp/Teapot and want to load it into Pharo.  I've tried using Metacello and using "filetree:" ; "directory" ; "directory with subdirectories" and I can't seem to load it.  When I try to use Iceberg and "import from existing clone" and select either "/tmp/Teapot" or "/tmp/Teapot/source" it gives me an "AssertionFailure: Project location does not seem to be a valid git repository."  Even though /tmp/.git exists.
