Hi all,

I am trying to parse git's rss feed and now xml parsers seems to choke on it because of an error in the produced feed. Looking at http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=rss

This looks like malformed xml to me ( because of \363 part ). Is there any way to fix this so git rss can be parsed? Or is this legal in xml and parsers are buggy?
