Author: ebrett

State: open

Trying to install an older version of sphinx, I get the following:

=================================================
➜ local git:(master) ✗ brew versions sphinx
0.9.9 git checkout 82cf700 Library/Formula/sphinx.rb
2.0.1-beta git checkout 502e331 Library/Formula/sphinx.rb
0.9.8.1 git checkout a82e823 Library/Formula/sphinx.rb
➜ local git:(master) ✗ git checkout a82e823
Checking out files: 100% (2028/2028), done.
Note: checking out 'a82e823'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

git checkout -b new_branch_name

HEAD is now at a82e823... s/require 'brewkit'/require 'formula'/g
