There's a problem using git with files having cyrillic 'й' in their
name, git just can't track them.

version: 1.7.12.1 (from macports)

Steps to reproduce:
- git init
- touch test_й
- git status (should be "untracked files present")
- git add test_й
- git status

# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#	"test_\320\270\314\206"
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to
track)

Could this be helped somehow?--

What "this"?  If you mean displaying escapes for UTF-8 bytes
representing that letter "й", then try setting core.quotepath to false
for this repository and see if that helps.

More info can be found in the git-config manual page.
