+Updated the Homebrew Formula with the appropriate changes.

+### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
+
+git-annex has been awesome for managing a massive collection of raw images and video clips across several storage targets and editing systems.
