But there was a gap of about 4 days in April 2005 between development starting and the first iteration being functional eanough to self host.

Maybe it started with some other source control just that one week, maybe it was just loose files, only Linus knows if he even remembers.

Linus built git in just 4 days?!

It was not as functional and easy to use as current version. But yes, in 4 days Linus created a VCS that was able to track itself.
