Migrating SVNs to GIT: Incorrect Special Character File Names

Question

I am trying to convert an existing SVN repository to GIT using git-svn clone, but versioned files with special characters in the file name, such as "ö", are displayed after "M". Obviously, git-svn saves the file names “as is” - I assume that SVN stores the file names in UTF-8 (as is done with logs), but my Windows uses the encoding Windows-1252.

Is it possible to force git-svn to change the encoding of the file name? Nothing found in manuals.
