No, it was 1.3.1. Hmm... strange. Seems I can't reproduce it. Ok then :)

Huh, I made my gems/gems into the repo and handcrafted a .gitignore which
would prevent non-binary .gem's to sneak into git. What you suggest seems to
be the opposite variant, perhaps saner.

Wouldn't it be good to add gems/gems to .gitignore template for app?

How cool. I'm very glad to hear that my gem pains gonna get relieved soon :)
