+### Please describe the problem.
+
+The "add" command silently ignores all files and directories with non-ascii characters.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+I created empty repository (git init, git annex init). I created some files with ascii and nonascii file names (hacky.txt, háčky.txt).
+
+git annex add . correctly adds only hacky.txt.
+
+git annex add "háčky.txt" does nothing.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+git 1.9.0, 
+git-annex installer from 2014-03-06
+
+Windows XP and 7 with czech localization. CP1250 is used for czech characters on windows.
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
+
+    $ ls
+    hacky.txt  h????ky.txt
+    $ git annex add .
+    add hacky.txt ok
+    (Recording state in git...)
+    $ git annex status
+    D h├í─Źky.txt
+
+According to https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki/Git-for-Windows-Unicode-Support ls prints junk, but only to console.
