Homebrew is updated. I want to install an older version of ImageMagick, so I do brew versions imagemagick and pick one of the older ones. Note: versions from 6.7 and later seems to work, however older ones doesn't (6.6 and below doesn't work). Some older formulas even produce errors.

I do for example (6.6.9-4):
git checkout db99927 Library/Formula/imagemagick.rb
brew install imagemagick

and I get:
