I've taken over maintenance of all macOS FUSE formulae in my own tap, until macFUSE (hopefully) becomes open-source again. For gitfs, you can now brew install gromgit/fuse/gitfs-mac.

Please read the README before asking any questions, especially about why the formulae are named funny. It would save us all a good deal of time. Thanks much!
