A gemspec in git allows using a patched version of a gem in a project. Moreover a gemspec allows to install gems from git, when the fat binary gem is not yet available (see #228). Due to a flaw in bundler it's not easily possible to switch bundler to the corresponding source gem otherwise.
Install via gemspec is also what I recommend for RubyInstaller in the FAQ.
