It seems that homebrew suddenly started giving us trouble, like this:
https://github.com/git/git/runs/1705953982?check_suite_focus=true#step:3:70

After seeing 'seen' with this patch at its tip pass the tests [*1*],
I prepared a merge of this change into the tip of 'next' and
tentatively updated 'seen' with it.

The test is still running [*2*], but the problematic part in the
macOS build has already passed, so I am planning to fast-track this
change down to 'next', 'master' and eventually down to 'maint' to
keep the CI going to help other platforms catch more interesting
problems.

Help from those who are more familiar with macOS and homebrew is
still appreciated, though.

I looked over your Homebrew-related changes, and they seem fine.

The `brew install homebrew/cask/perforce` command could be shortened
to `brew install perforce`, at least at the present, but being
explicit with the long identifier is probably better anyhow.
