Git trouble on Windows with tilde filenames

I've had apparently unresolvable problems with tilde filenames .
On windows 8.1, immediately as i clone a repository to my hard drive, some filenames containing tilde (interestingly enough, not all of them) - instantly throw out an error. They immediately appear as deleted, and i cannot do anything to add them to the git index, ignore, delete from cache or whatever.

Apparently this is a fairly recent change in Git, dating since December 2014, and yes, the solution is as stated on the given link,  to configure git with the following:

git config core.protectNTFS false

As the author says, i also recommend putting it back once the files are added to the index, with: 

git config core.protectNTFS true
