'git am' used this line to insert the authorship...

...then left this line in the commit body, which I manually deleted,
without spotting the difference between the two.

Alas, since I managed to overlook the change in the acute (I suppose
I'm cursed with having a boring name, so unlike many list participants
who are overjoyed by the power of UTF-8 to make self-expression more
accurate, I have not had as much experience with thinking about it),
my manual edits explain why the merged commit ended up with a less
desirable spelling.  I apologize for the mishap.  Do we need/want a
.mailmap entry to aid git at listing your preferred spelling?

overcome accidental cultural bias!
