Did you specify the locale in which the filenames are encoded explicitly somehow? Git does not have this problem, since it does not interpret any of the filenames you store in it. This has advantages (conversion can't fail since you're not doing conversion at at all), but it also has disadvantages - checking out the repository on hosts with a different encoding breaks the filenames.
