revert-buffer-with-coding-system fails to work for CP1250

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

When I open a text file with a CP1250 contents, mode-line does not  
show a specific encoding, it starts with ``-:´´. So I invoke C-x REF  
r cp1250 RET – but there does not seem to be change (except that read- 
only goes away).

If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim  
me as a German, and France will declare that I am a citizen of the  
world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a  
German, and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.
