Capistrano: Bundler stalls and asks for "Username"

Given you use Capistrano together with bundler to automatically install your gems when deploying.

I recently had the problem that Capistrano stalled like this:

[err :: host.name.tld] Username:

It turned out that I this originated from GitHub. We had a gem in our Gemfile that explicitly pointed to a GitHub URL like that:

gem 'foogem', :git => 'https://github.com/blubb/foogem.git'

The URL was returning a 404 which caused the problems. You have to get another gem or point to a fork on GitHub.
