The umlaut (ö) in my name is broken in the commit that made it into git.git --> 5288dd58356e53d61e2b3804fc7d8d23c3a46ab3

Last time this happened when I used format-patch -s instead of commit -s IIRC. But since then, I pay attention to do the sign-off via commit -s, yet my name is broken again. What did I do wrong this time?
