Message:
Here is a discussion Eric and I had (based on Josh Susser's idea) to make this
less confusing. I don't think there's a specific feature in the tracker, if
someone wants to create it...
me: also having the --source option override any default or definition in
.gemrc is annoying. Was talking with Josh Susser about it.
eric.hodel: that's what it's for
"no, I really want this"
6:30 PM if I change my mind on it, then people will complain for the opposite
reason :/
me: but that is not intuitive. I was thiniking to have have
--[no-]use-configured-sources, with
--use-configured-sources being the default.
eric.hodel: that could work
me: so --source option would be additive by default

Message:
There's no rcov gem on the github source, so I don't know why you expect this
to work.
The documentation states:
--source URL Use URL as the remote source for gems
Which may not be clear, but implies that the flag overrides the default sources
rather than appends to them. If you can think of better wording, I will be
glad to change it.
