Please always follow these steps:

• [ x ] Confirmed this is a problem with brew installing one, specific Homebrew/homebrew-core formula (not cask or tap) and not every time you run brew? If it's a general brew problem please file this issue at https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/new. If it's a brew cask problem please file this issue at https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/issues/new. If it's a tap (e.g. Homebrew/homebrew-php) problem please file this issue at the tap.
• [ x ] Ran brew update and retried your prior step?
• [ x ] Ran brew doctor, fixed all issues and retried your prior step?
• [ x ] Ran brew gist-logs <formula> (where <formula> is the name of the formula that failed) and included the output link?
• [ x ] If brew gist-logs didn't work: ran brew config and brew doctor and included their output with your issue?

That's most likely a git issue. Please report it upstream and post the bug report link here.

[smcquay]

I reported it and here's a link to the mail thread.

Thanks @smcquay!

@smcquay upstream fixed this in 2.16.1, which I have just shipped. If you brew update and brew upgrade the problem should be fixed.
