In Bundler, how can I override a dependency's version requirements for its own dependencies?

Question

I have a couple of needs in my application for which working on edge Rails (3.1) would help me complete my task faster.

The problem is that one of the gems I depend on doesn't yet officially support Rails 3.1, and it has a "~> 3.0.0" railties dependency, which creates a dependency conflict and bundler can't resolve my dependencies. Can I override that requirement in my app's Gemfile somehow, or is my only workaround to fork my dependency?

Sadly, branching it is the only way to unravel that. Or, being more hacky, modifying the /vendor local installation of the gem.
