and it seems there is some garbage in .git directory:

drwxrwxr-x    2 dtor dtor 4096 Sep 17 21:17 V?Cl?���?E ???#V?C??ſl??E#V?C??;H
                                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
The similar garbage(?) shows when I clone git's repository.

Is this expected?

Absolutely not. And I don't see it when I try. What filesystem are you 
running this on? Looks like something did a "mkdir()" with an 
uninitialized pointer, but I don't see how that would happen.
