| $ cd /usr/local | |

This worked for me. My node version is back to 0.10.xx
But when I 'brew update', I get this error:
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
Library/Formula/node.rb
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Aborting
Error: Failure while executing: git pull -q origin refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.
I ran into the same need and ended up trying nvm (Node Version Manager) instead. Fingers crossed.
@flipjs git checkout path-to/Library/Formula/node.rb should resolve your issue.
Another solution to revert back to the latest node 0.10:
brew unlink node
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-versions/master/node010.rb
npm install -g npm@latest
@kugaevsky, this helped me. Thank you!
@kugaevsky I get this error when I run the 2nd git command:
``fatal: reference is not a tree: b64d9b9c431642a7dd8d85c8de5a530f2c79d924`
You save me~

Awesome! I could also keep a newer and an older version of node at the same time!
Just do the same as above:
$ cd /usr/local $ git checkout b64d9b9c431642a7dd8d85c8de5a530f2c79d924 Library/Formula/node.rb $ brew unlink node $ brew install node $ npm install -g npm@latestThen use
brew switch:$ brew switch node 0.12.2_1 Cleaning /usr/local/Cellar/node/0.10.36 Cleaning /usr/local/Cellar/node/0.12.2_1 6 links created for /usr/local/Cellar/node/0.12.2_1 $ node -v v0.12.2and switch back again!
$ brew switch node 0.10.36 Cleaning /usr/local/Cellar/node/0.10.36 Cleaning /usr/local/Cellar/node/0.12.2_1 5 links created for /usr/local/Cellar/node/0.10.36 $ node -v v0.10.36Very powerful indeed.
