currently (and as I can tell also in the past, see [1],[2],[3],[4],[5]), brew —prefix <FORMULA> is really slow (see the example output below), which makes it somewhat annoying using pass on macOS. I hunted this down and found that the problem is the following: brew runs git rev-parse --short=4 --verify -q HEAD every time to find the currently installed version of the formula (which seems somewhat unreasonable). Depending on your git and network connectivity, this may take longer. Using brew —prefix without a formula is reasonably fast. As far as I can tell, there is currently no way to change the prefix path in brew, thus using $(brew —prefix)/opt/gnu-getopt should be a save way for determining the path to gnu-getopt.

Great find! I’ve been somewhat annoyed myself by the ~1s delay when using `pass`, but always assumed it was just GPG being slow.

I patched this and attached the patch to this mail. Since my implementation is somewhat longer, I think it should not be implemented in one line anymore, but split it up as I did (see the patch). If you come up with something better let me know (or, of course, patch it yourself). Additionally, since I am not using Macports, I can not test if this also works with ports. Before considering pushing my patch upstream, someone needs to test this! For brew, it works fine.

The `elif` and `else` branches look wrong, as we are not in a command context, so shouldn’t prefix with `echo`, plus including the `which` line is redundant when the `elif` already test for the presence of `port`.

I also find it cleaner to test the exit status of `command` instead of testing against non-zero output.

Here’s my revised proposal for the relevant code to setup `GETOPT`:

        if command -v brew >/dev/null; then
                GETOPT_PREFIX="$(brew --prefix)/opt/gnu-getopt"
        elif command -v port >/dev/null; then
                GETOPT_PREFIX="/opt/local"
        fi
        GETOPT="${GETOPT_PREFIX:-/usr/local}/bin/getopt"

If we find neither `brew` nor `port` then we use `GETOPT_PREFIX` before falling back to `/usr/local`.

Don’t think we actually need this, but it makes the code look nicer :)
