When I clone the repo using msysgit, all the files with spaces in the filename are not brought down, and then show as deleted in the status.

The filenames looks something like this: styles-ie (1:12:11 6:02 PM).css so it might actually be the colon or brackets?

How can I fetch those files to bring my local repo inline with the origin?

    If you try doing:

    touch "styles-ie (1:12:11 6:02 PM).css"
    

    you will see that you cannot create it on Windows.

    Basically, the repo has the file ( the blob and the tree entry ) but you cannot checkout on Windows as git would be unable to create such a file. No other way but to change the filename.
