Hi guys,
I met this error info while installing git-cola with Homebrew command `brew install git-cola` on macOS sierra version 10.12
Is there any solution? Thanks

$ brew install git-cola
qt: This formula either does not compile or function as expected on macOS
versions newer than El Capitan due to an upstream incompatibility.
Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.

It looks like homebrew isn't looking to keep qt4 alive[1]
(even though it might actually be able to run just fine[2])
and are looking to upgrade everyone to qt5 instead.

cola works just fine with PyQt5. The homebrew formula probably needs
updating for sierra -- please report that upstream to homebrew.

For your own needs, if you can get pyqt5 installed then cola should
run just fine.
