Force bundle install to use https:// instead of git:// for GitHub-based gems

ruby github bundler

I am trying to build a rails project and because the host I am working on doesn't have access to the Internet for the the git:// protocol (port 9418) I get errors like

Fetching git://github.com/pivotal/jasmine.git
fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com[0: 192.30.252.130]: errno=Connection refused

when running bundle install.

The relevant line in the GemFile doesn't specify git:// as a protocol, it just points to GitHub as the source for the gem

gem 'jasmine', :github => 'pivotal/jasmine-gem'

What do I have to do to make bundler to use https:// rather than git:// for pulling gems from GitHub?

Edit:

Is there a way other than editing every affected line in the GemFile? I'd prefer to avoid any merging issues down the line if the project's GemFile is updated.
