Describe the problem you're observing.

I use borgbackup-fuse and vorta on my MacBook. I installed them via brew. This morning I was updating the clients and I noticed that while borgbackup 1.4.0 is available:

➜  ~ brew info borgbackup
==> borgbackup: stable 1.4.0 (bottled)

borgbackup-fuse (which is the version I use, since I need FUSE support) is only available for 1.2.8:

➜  ~ brew info borgbackup-fuse
==> borgbackup/tap/borgbackup-fuse: stable 1.2.8

Considering that 1.4.0 has been release nearly two months ago, I was wondering if borgbackup-fuse is still a supported thing and if not, what is the alternative?

Thanks
