BREW - clean update / upgrade

Another one for future reference: brew
when I did brew update I've used to get:

>brew update
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:

share/doc/homebrew/Acceptable-Formulae.md
share/doc/homebrew/Bottles.md
share/doc/homebrew/Brew-Test-Bot-For-Core-Contributors.md

share/doc/homebrew/Custom-GCC-and-cross-compilers.md
share/doc/homebrew/External-Commands.md
share/doc/homebrew/FAQ.md
[......]

fix for that is:

cd `brew --prefix`
git fetch origin 
git reset --hard origin/master

if reset didn't work sometimes you need to do sudo, just make sure you change owner back to your user...

sudo chown -R user .

then :

brew update
brew upgrade


and all is nice and working cool ...  again ;-)
