Downgrade to Ant 1.9.3 with brew on OSX

Related to issue for building the Neo4j Koans jimwebber/neo4j-tutorial#33 Unable to downlaod Neo4j due to a bug with the Compress lib in Ant 1.9.4. https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56641

Remove previous ant versions

brew unlink ant
rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar/ant

Checkout to the 1.9.3 version commit for the Formula

git checkout 79b2536 /usr/local/Library/Formula/ant.rb

Edit the formula to point to the archive repository of Apache Ant :

brew edit ant

And change the url and sha lines with this :

url 'http://archive.apache.org/dist/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.9.3-bin.tar.gz'
sha1 '11a0b936fba02f96b8d737d90c610382232ffea6'

Install Ant

brew install ant

Done !

The git checkout of the 1.9.3 version does not seem to be working. Is there another location or copy of it somewhere?

Thanks!
