I do all of the sysadmin work for our team, and I cannot even begin to tell you the headaches I've suffered through the Bundler 0.9 -> 1.0 transition in combination with RVM, rvmrc files, and various Passenger upgrades. As things stand today, most of what you'll read is out of date. The only consistently maintainable solution I have right now is to use the RVM gem. As Neal pointed out, this will let you use gemsets, but it won't let you use multiple versions of Ruby using the Apache module configuration for Passenger.
Our app is Rails 3 + Ruby 1.9.2. In order to maintain sanity, we always keep our dev and master branches on the same version and patch level of Ruby. This is pretty easily accomplished using local virtual machines for testing. Dan Benjamin has a really nice guide to setting up the stack otherwise, and it includes RVM; albeit using the gem (the only way to go, IMO). You can find it here: http://hivelogic.com/articles/setup-guide-rails-stack-with-passenger-rvm-bundler-apache-and-mysql-on-ubun Frankly, the only advantage is the easy upgrades of Ruby and the ability to easily roll back. With Bundler, we don't make much use of the gemsets feature any more.
