ICON~714.PNG is a valid short name for a long name (such as

long name, Git for Windows refuses to check out such paths by default.
If you want the old -- unsafe -- behavior back, just set your
core.protectNTFS to false (this means that you agree that the incurred
problems are your own responsibility and cannot be blamed on anybody else
;-))
I wonder if it is worth having a "git-only" mode for core.protectNTFS.
Turning it off entirely would make him susceptible to GIT~1 attacks.

There is something more then just the "tilde" protection going on, it seems:

Neither latest msygit nor latest git.git reports a problem with a single
file
within a short path.
It may be, that the '~' is not accepted in a long path or there are
"problems"
when a directory is filled with many files, but that is speculation.
Dimitry,
is there a way to make the problem reproducible for other people ?
Either a public demo-repo, or a step-by-step receipe ?
