Deleting files and reinstalling HOMEBREW solved the problem.

I've seen this a few times and don't know what causes it; but if you're sure you haven't made any modifications to those files that you want to save, you can go into /usr/local (or wherever you keep the Homebrew installation) and type git reset --hard HEAD. Then try updating again.
