This bug is documented in BUGS section of "git add" manual (see "git
help add"). You can work it around with

   git config --global core.quotepath false

Oh, sorry, I should have known better and RTFM. :-D

No problem at all. I was bitten by the same bug earlier, and as I wasn't
able to fix it I sent a documentation patch instead. :-)

"core.quotepath=false" is good for other purposes too. It prints UTF-8
filenames in diff headers in form that is actually readable. I think it
would be better default.
