Brew 更新失败：未跟踪的工作树文件将被合并覆盖

如何解决Brew 更新失败：未跟踪的工作树文件将被合并覆盖

cd $(brew --prefix)
git reset --hard HEAD
brew update

解决方法

尝试更新 Homebrew 时brew update出现以下错误

error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwrittenby merge:     
 Library/Formula/argp-standalone.rb
 Library/Formula/cocot.rb 
Please move or remove them before you can merge.

我发现有人在安装 Mountain Lion 后遇到类似问题的博客文章（我本周也这样做了）。他解释了他如何删除错误消息中提到的文件

I removed these files:
$ cd $(brew --prefix)
$ rm cocot.rb
However,removing these files didn't help with the brew update. Instead I had to manually update brew through git:
$ cd $(brew --prefix)
$ git fetch origin
$ git reset --hard origin/master
$ brew update
Already up-to-date.

假设这些说明是正确的（我可能不应该假设），我尝试按照这些说明做

    $ cd $(brew --prefix)
    $ rm cocot.rb

但是，当我尝试 rm cocot.rb 时，它说“文件不存在”

我不确定的一件事cd $(brew --prefix)是那些是我输入的确切单词还是我必须用某些东西替换前缀？cd
成功了，所以我假设它是正确的——它把我移到了 /usr/local，但没有要删除的文件。/usr/local 的内容是

Cellar              clamXav             git             mysql               var Library             doc             heroku              mysql-5.5.15-osx10.6-x86_64 README.md           etc             include             rvm bin             foreman             lib             share

无论如何，你知道我如何修复“brew update”吗？

更新：根据 favouretti 的说明删除文件并尝试chown -R <your_username> $(brew --prefix)/.git后，运行时出现以下错误brew update
