The email was generated using git-format-patch and sent using
git-send-email. I think the patch is correct.

Actually, \xf6 is the iso-8859-{1,2,3,4} representation for 'ö' and
it is the way this character is encoded within the original source file.
Probably it should be fixed.

Thanks for your help :)
