Consider adding a Gemfile.lock to the git repository

[lucc]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Downstream packaging of vagrant is more brittle because they have to generate a Gemfile.lock. There is no assurance from the vagrant team that this specific version of the lock will work.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add the Gemfile.lock to the git repository.

Describe alternatives you've considered

none

Additional context

See the recent issues in Nixpkgs for the downstream trouble: NixOS/nixpkgs#362117 (comment)

I have found these commits:

• b5b8b12 removes the lock file
• 4b26766 reintroduces the lock file for the website

But they do not explain why having the lock file in git is a bad idea.
