`brew reinstall` cannot find Patch 6

[daviderestivo]

I'm sure that the reinstall option together with --HEAD was working before. I guess some commit on homebrew-core broke this behaviour. @d12frosted, the maintainer of emacs-plus, has done a deep analysis on how brew behave on the installation and re-installation of a Formula.

I went through the home-brew docs and I found this. So, in short, it seems that the --HEAD is not officially supported by the reinstall option. The only workaround I found is to unconditionally download all of the patches (used or not) declaring them as resources. I don't really like it to much but thats the only viable way I could think about. Lemme make some tries and will back to you.

Hi @DivineDominion,

I will have a look ... thanks :)

Thanks for your efforts! IIRC it also didn't work without --HEAD, and I tried with that flag later to see if it would properly fetch the latest version, hoping that the missing patch bug was fixed there.

@DivineDominion I have fixed this issue in f03b7c9. Make a try and lemme know if it works for you as well.

@DivineDominion did you get a chance to test it on your machine?

[daviderestivo]

@DivineDominion I'm going to close this issue. Please re-open if needed.

Sorry, didn't have a chance during the week, but I tried this Saturday, and it went through just fine 👍 (Luckily I botched up the order for my new computer, so the environment is the same :) Thanks for the fix!
