macOS Sierra(バージョン10.12)へ更新したついでに brew update
を行ってみると
$ brew update
Error: The /usr/local directory is not writable.
Even if this directory was writable when you installed Homebrew, other
software may change permissions on this directory. Some versions of the
"InstantOn" component of Airfoil are known to do this.
You should probably change the ownership and permissions of /usr/local
back to your user account.
sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local
-
/usr/local
が not writable なので更新できません - ownership と permission を変更してみては
と表示される。
ownership を変更してから brew update
指示通り、以下のように実施すると更新できた:
$ sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local
$ brew update

Homebrew no longer needs to have ownership of /usr/local. If you wish you can
return /usr/local to its default ownership with:
sudo chown root:wheel /usr/local
表示されたメッセージ末尾に以下があるのに気づいた:
- '/usr/local' に対する ownership はもう不要です
- 必要なら初期値に戻してもいいですよ
ownership を初期値に戻してから brew update
$ sudo chown root:wheel /usr/local
$ brew update
Already up-to-date.
その通り、初期値に戻して再度 brew update
しても更新完了するようになっている。
更新後のバージョンは下記の通り
$ brew --version
Homebrew >1.0.0 (no git repository)
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision 7ae6; last commit 2016-09-22)
以下のやりとりの通り、わりと最近のissue(opened this issue 5 days ago on 2016/09/22)で対処されたようだ
/usr/local/Homebrew migration tracking issue #987
補足
- git 版は使っていませんが、おそらく同じ挙動を得られると思います
- 新規インストールであれば、この対処が済んだバージョンをインストールするので、ownership 変更はそもそも不要と思います
