To `brew update`, first run: git -C /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew- core fetch --unshallow git -C /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew- cask fetch --unshallow It is now required to perform the unshallow process by running the git command (s) in the error message.
By default git fetch refuses to update the head which corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the check. This is purely for the internal use for git pull to communicate with git fetch, and unless you are implementing your own Porcelain you are not supposed to use it.

I dug a little after trying to deal with the git repo, but the simplest thing that fixed it for me was untapping and then retapping the casks repo

I haven't RTFM'd lately, but I'm guessing this has something to do with how casks seem to be moving into the main homebrew repo (or at least that's how it seems as a naive user).

I tried to run:
$ git -C "/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core" fetch
then:
$ git -C "/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core" fetch --unshallow
brew update seems OK now.
