This variable allows a user to configure how often `brew update` runs.
With the previous implementation, however, it was still pretty slow as
it would run some of `brew update` even within the timeout. This feels
related to complaints about Homebrew "feeling slow" since we enabled
this. Address this by:
- making `HOMEBREW_AUTO_UPDATE_SECS` behave more like
`HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE` and entirely skip the invocation of
`brew update` if the relevant tap (homebrew-core or homebrew-cask
depending on command invoked) has been checked in the last
`HOMEBREW_AUTO_UPDATE_SECS`
- Only require/check the update of a single tap rather than every tap
- Increase the default value of `HOMEBREW_AUTO_UPDATE_SECS` from 1m
to 5m to cut people a bit more slack. We're not updating things
often enough for 1m not to feel a bit overkill and 5m feels
appropriate for a Homebrew "session" to only require a single update.
Because of this messing with the user's path:

brew uses /usr/bin/git over brewed git, even when the former is
problematically old.
There may also be other reasons a user prefers to use brewed git.
There was already a HOMEBREW_FORCE_BREWED_CURL option and a
HOMEBREW_SYSTEM_CURL_TOO_OLD check to set it. This mostly copies those
to implement HOMEBREW_FORCE_BREWED_GIT & HOMEBREW_SYSTEM_GIT_TOO_OLD.

This can't be tapped on vanilla Homebrew/brew because things like e.g.
`GlibcRequirement` are missing. We will put this back when the Linuxbrew
to Homebrew migration is complete.
Git is a transport and storage mechanism for us so we don't want to
allow arbitrary customisation of this due to user issues e.g. #3664
and #3561.
Fixes#3664.
- `brew.rb` needed updated to fail unless on Ruby 2.3
- `brew update` should unset `HOMEBREW_RUBY_PATH` to ensure that this
doesn't "stick" on a Ruby 2.0 version after a portable Ruby has been
installed.
- `brew update` should try to install `curl` before `git` on older
versions of Mac OS X where it is needed for accessing modern SSL
certificates.
- We don't need an HTTP mirror for `git` because `curl` will already be
installed before it is downloaded.
- Don't recommend GCC on Mac OS X versions where it can't be built with
the default system compiler.
- Start using the Homebrew `curl` on Mac OS X versions where it is
needed as soon as it is installed.
On Linux this defaults to Linuxbrew but in some cases (i.e. a Linux
machine performing uploads for Homebrew) we want to allow this to be
overridden back to the defaults.
Relies on a change incoming to `brew test-bot` to set this there.
This will be slightly slower if you have a bunch of non-formula (i.e.
command or cask) taps but it avoids the confusion of having Homebrew
saying it's updated when it only did so selectively.
Fixes#1946.
It’ll only get printed for people getting updated to tags now and these
are people who haven’t run a `dev-cmd` so we want to air on the side of
telling them less stuff that will confuse them and assume people who
have manually made another `git` branch will know how to get back to it.
- Don't let the `UPSTREAM_TAG` variable bleed into future repository
checks.
- Even if the tag branch is an ancestor of the tag ensure that it's
forced back to the tag anyway.
Rather than following every change on `master` let’s have non-developer
users (i.e. those who have never run a `dev-cmd` or set
`HOMEBREW_DEVELOPER`) update between tags.
This provides a fairly natural beta (the `master` branch`) and stable
(the tags) approach without restricting us to any particular way of
managing our tags.
