brew failed to fetch emacs-mac

[Skyfold]

I'm not sure is this is a brew problem or emacs-mac repo problem, but it looks like something changed without the build being updated. I'm on OS X 10.9.5. (Note this is after brew update and brew doctor)

I get similar errors when trying to upgrade emacs-mac from homebrew. For instance, last night I got:

But the exact error is not repeatable. Today I get:

From brief googling it looks like this might be a server configuration issue. Perhaps it could be solved by running git gc on the server and/or updating to a newer version of git.

If you can't install the formula with brew install emacs-mac, try using Homebrew Cask to install the cask with brew cask install emacs-mac.

Worked for me.

opened new issue to tracking repo switch #28, which would speed up the cloning and update.

I'm using spacemacs , and I have this problem too when I use racket-mode . I can figure out what's going on .
