How do I manage bundled gems in a capistrano deployment?

Currently, I'm just running the following:

after 'deploy:update_code', 'deploy:bundle'

namespace :deploy do
  task :bundle do
    run "cd #{release_path} && bundle install --deployment --without development test staging"
  end
end

Now this works fine, but the bundler ends up installing all the gems to vendor/gems every time. While I understand the merit in isolating the gems to each release (as opposed to using the shared folder, which (?) might result in errors on rollback and such), surely there is a better way to do this that doesn't take as much time to deploy and saves on disk space.

Things have changed after the release of bundler 1.0

You don't need to create a custom task from deploy.

just use require 'bundler/capistrano'

take a look at this http://blog.josephholsten.com/2010/09/deploying-with-bundler-and-capistrano/ for more details
