Summary
When I try to install git with homebrew while setting become: true, the error message given is not useful in determining the reason for failure.
Through debugging I found out that I should not use become: true, but I wasted a lot of time trying to find other solutions to the stack trace I was receiving before.
I would like to raise a fix for this, to improve the error messaging.
