Fail when updating and installing updated formula

Fail when updating and installing updated formula

Hey guys,

I just installed OS X from scratch on my machine the other day, and as
always, I install homebrew as one of the first things. Today I wanted
to check for updates. I usually use `brew update; brew install `brew
outdated` for this, but something is not working anymore[1]. I have
not had this error before, and I haven't done anything with homebrew
other than to install some packages.
I'm not very familiar with the internal setup of homebrew, so I don't
wanna go and poke around before I know more.

Can someone help me?

I've seen this before, you can resolve it by `cd`ing into your
homebrew install and using `git add` to track all formulae, aliases,
and commands then committing. As usual, everything is taken care of as
far as updates are concerned, using git.
