Finder activity such as moving the position of an icon can create an unexpected
.DS_Store file in a Cellar directory. This causes `brew remove --force` to throw
an error that is reported as
Error: Directory not empty - /usr/local/Cellar/<formula>
This fix avoids that error, by calling rmtree rather than rmdir.

For now we don't support this kind of thing because our formula is a worse option, even though you have to update it yourself.
ClosesHomebrew/homebrew#6174
Selection of generic installation options, such as `--HEAD`, is now lumped
together with selection of formulae-specific options.
This allows any installation option to be tab-completed *before or after* the
formula name is specified.

We don't know what revision the tarball was when homebrew was installed, so all we can do really is hard reset. In theory some set of git commands should suffice, but apparently --soft and --mixed resets ended up putting stuff in the index which would break subsequent `brew updates`.
FixesHomebrew/homebrew#6851
Users were seeing local changes in their repository after updating, even
though they had made no local changes.
The repository setup sequence should use `git reset --soft` rather than
vanilla `git reset`, which defaults to '--mixed'. '--soft' updates
_only_ HEAD, leaving the index as-is, allowing future incantations of
`brew update` to proceed without errors.
FixesHomebrew/homebrew#6732.
The output happens as it is determined, rather than all at once, which is preferable for CLI commands. This meant I had to hard-code the left-justification.
The pre-amble warning is removed. Instead the command outputs the git checkout command for each she that you can type to get that old formula.
I decided that reseting the one file will work 99% of the time and that it is too risky to reset the whole repo, this will roll-back bug fixes. Instead we should add functionality to compat/ in order to support old formula as required. Sometimes deps may have to be rolled-back too, but the user will have to figure this out on an ad-hoc basis. We are assuming a failure sophisticated user anyway, one who would like to get old versions of stuff.
I moved most of the functions into Formula since IMO this makes more conceptual sense.
I made the she get abbreviated by git (using --abbrev-commit) itself so it as short as can be.
Rationale: people break their installs by mixing sudo and non-sudo usage. They are used to having to `sudo port install` and shit like that, so I understand why the mixing happens.
Provided the user installed with our installer anyway. It creates all the directories that Homebrew will need during its life thus negating the need for root writability.
The point being to have less duplicate information.
I am updating the wiki and the homepage accordingly.
I am loathe to leave the "what packages are available" lines but I believe
people who are interested in such things are likely to end up at the source
root so it is appropriate.
This is needed for Ruby 1.9.x compatibility, but we still don't support
running Homebrew with anything other than a system provided 1.8.[67].
