brew install: not a tagged release #542

When installing age on MacOS using Homebrew, the installed binary was not built from a tagged release. As a result go version -m applied to the binary reports (devel) as the version instead of v1.1.1.

$ brew install age

We don't control the age Formula, so this would be a homebrew-core issue, but I also understand it applies to all Go binaries they build.

It's actually kind of hard to install from a checked out tree (as opposed to "go install foo@version") while preserving the version. This is https://github.com/golang/go/issues/50603.
