Usage
Examples:
- gem insturl http://.../foo.git
- gem insturl http://.../foo.gem

If --git is specified or the URL ends with .git, it is treated as a git repository and cloned with git
;
otherwise it is treated as a package file and downloaded with wget
. You must have git or wget installed in PATH.
If --git is omitted and the URL ends with .gem, it is installed with gem install
directly after download.
If the URL is a repository or a .zip/.tar.gz package, it must have a valid gemspec file in top level directory. A gem is built from the gemspec file and then installed.
