unable to install git-flow

Looks like is something wrong in the shFlags submodule.

➜ ~ brew install git-flow
==> Cloning https://github.com/nvie/gitflow.git
Updating /Library/Caches/Homebrew/git-flow--git
==> Checking out tag 0.4.1
Submodule 'shFlags' () registered for path 'shFlags'
fatal: Needed a single revision
Unable to find current revision in submodule path 'shFlags'
Error: Failure while executing: git submodule update

➜ ~ brew doctor
Warning: "config" scripts exist outside your system or Homebrew directories.
./configure scripts often look for *-config scripts to determine if
software packages are installed, and what additional flags to use when
compiling and linking.

Having additional scripts in your path can confuse software installed via
Homebrew if the config script overrides a system or Homebrew provided
script of the same name. We found the following "config" scripts:

/usr/local/opt/php53/bin/php-config

Upstream should package tarballs that include the submodules

It might be the submodule, shFlags, is using git protocol instead of more non-firewall-blocked http protocol.

Works fine here; try removing the cached checkout (rm -rf $(brew --cache git-flow)).

[jacknagel]

Note that we don't have control over what protocol is used to fetch the submodules; if they are registered in the superproject as git:// URLs, that is what it will use.

After the cache cleanup everything worked fine.

Thanks :)
