First, sorry for a slow response about the previous
thread (Change to gcc/testsuite/go.test/test rejected by ChangeLog checker).

Well, the suggested change will not help us because we will not be able
to find a file with a given path (\xxx\yyy...).

Proper solution is likely doing:
$ git config --global core.quotepath false

both on server side (and client side).

Having that, git properly displays non-ascii filenames:

     Add new file.
     
     ChangeLog:
     
             * špatně.txt: New file.

diff --git a/špatně.txt b/špatně.txt
new file mode 100644
index 00000000000..e69de29bb2d

Thoughts?
