Perfoce's cask in brew is meant[1] to be used only by humans, so replace
its use from the CI with a scripted binary download which is less likely
to fail, as it is done in Linux.
Kept the logic together so it will be less likely to break when moved
around as on the fly code changes in this area are settled, at which
point it will also feasable to ammend it to avoid some of the hardcoded
values by using similar variables to the ones Linux does.
In that same line, a POSIX sh syntax is used instead of the similar one
used in Linux in preparation for an unrelated future change that might
change the shell currently configured for it.
This change reintroduces the risk that the installed binaries might not
work because of being quarantined that was fixed with 5ed9fc3fc8 (ci:
prevent `perforce` from being quarantined, 2020-02-27) but fixing that
now was also punted for simplicity and since the affected cloud provider
is scheduled to be retired with an on the fly change, but should be
addressed if that other change is not integrated further.
The discussion on the need to keep 2 radically different versions of
the binaries to be tested with Linux vs macOS or how to upgrade to
newer versions now that brew won't do that automatically for us has
been punted for now as well. On that line the now obsolete comment
about it in lib.sh was originally being updated by this change but
created conflicts as it is moved around by other on the fly changes,
so will be addressed independently as well.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
