Can't load project after pulling: "Expected 'ENCODING' but found 'utf-8'."

c#, git, visual-studio-2012, wpf

Solution

It appears there were some unclosed tags in my .csproject file.

Strangely though, the error above was reported instead.

Problem

After pulling the project (WPF application) from git, I get this error: What could be causing it? It worked fine before pulling it (someone else commited on the project).
