As a follow up, although slightly leery of applying this change globally to config.mak.uname, I don't necessarily oppose it either. Considering how widely adopted Homebrew is on Mac OS, baking in a bit of Homebrew-specific knowledge would make it easier for a Git developer to get up and running by eliminating some of the manual fiddling and configuration currently necessary.
