Edit rails gem without restarting server

Question

Rails3: I cloned an existing gem in order to modify it in development. I put in my gemfile:

gem 'my_gem_name', :path => '../gems/my_gem_name'

It's working fine, but every time I want to edit the gem, I have to restart my rails server. Is there a way that I don't need to restart the server?

For view/controller/helper files there is the setting config.cache_classes = false but I wasn't able to find a similar one for the locals gem.
