My apologies, Gmail eaten part of my message.

Sorry for such old Git versions, I can not upgrade right now. Perhaps
it was fixed in 1.6.x?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create git repo on Windows machine, add there file, named
"Копия.txt" (Russian for Copy.txt) in CP1251 (NOT UTF-8). Just in
case, hopefully correctly named file is attached.

File must be added and committed from git gui, not from command line.

$ mkdir test && cd test
$ git init
<put file there>
$ git gui

2. Share the repo somewhere, so it would be accessible from OS X (repo
should still be on Windows machine).

3. Clone repo to OS X machine and see the weird behaviour. Git status
can't decide how file should be named, "%CA%EE%EF%E8%FF.txt" or
"\312\356\357\350\377.txt".

$ git clone /Volumes/Exchange/test/
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/agladysh/test/.git/
$ cd test
$ git status
# On branch master
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#	%CA%EE%EF%E8%FF.txt
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
$ ls
%CA%EE%EF%E8%FF.txt
$ git clean -fd
Removing %CA%EE%EF%E8%FF.txt
$ git status
# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#
#	deleted:    "\312\356\357\350\377.txt"
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

Alexander.
