I have installed MacVim via brew. When the autoupdate feature came out, I accidentally enabled it. Now I keep getting prompted to upgrade to a new MacVim version through a different channel than I usually do. How can I disable the auto-update feature?

I would also like to know how to avoid this feature. Updating via the auto-updater rather than through Homebrew broke my MacVim installation (I believe it was an issue with the YouCompleteMe plugin), I assume it had to do with the version of Python linked. I had to uninstall and reinstall r100 to get it to work again. Updating to r101 today through Homebrew, rather than the auto-updater, has worked just fine. Hopefully this is a fairly isolated incident.

Probably this should go in the FAQ.
