RVM Errors with Latest Ruby?

Are you trying to build Ruby 2.4.0 or later, including the 2.4.0 preview releases? Are you doing it by installing with RVM? Are you seeing errors like the ones below?

Ruby (specifically Rubygems) now pulls code from repos with submodules. That requires an RVM change.

To fix it, some day you can upgrade to the latest RVM using "rvm get head". In the mean time, you can use older Rubygems. Don't "rvm install ruby-head". Instead, "rvm install rubyhead --rubygems 2.6.6". Curious if it's been long enough and you can use the latest Rubygems? See the rvm issue for it.

Once that issue is fixed, the correct fix should be "rvm get stable" instead of specifying a specific older RubyGems version for each Ruby installation.

Screenshot of the problem here - see below for cut-and-pasteable output.
