"bundle install" fails when setting :git path in Gemfile

Question

I want to update one of my gems from the master source branch instead of from a gem repo. So I put this in my Gemfile:

gem "prawn", :git => "https://github.com/sandal/prawn.git"

However, now when I run:

bundle install

or:

bundle update

I get:

Updating https://github.com/sandal/prawn.git

Any ideas on how I can fix this?
