I needed some Rails 3.1 enhancements to Rails Engines for an in-development app, so I enabled Edge Rails in my Gemfile:
gem 'rails', :git => 'git://github.com/rails/rails.git'
Then I did what I normally do, sudo bundle install. But this broke the rails command—why?
I deleted the Git checkout and tried again:
$ sudo bundle install

Although Bundler has had some issues with remote Git repositories in the past, this one was entirely my fault: don’t use sudo bundle install. A simple check confirms this: sudo bundle show works like you’d expect.
So to recap: remove the checkout and bundle install (no sudo!) to fix this problem.
