How can I make ack search in "Gemfile"?

Just adding --type-add=ruby=Gemfile to "~/.ackrc" doesn't work because "Gemfile" doesn't have any file extension.
Thanks!

Commit modified files only using subversion
I have a long list of commits to make and, as such, would like to stagger the commits. So, when I do:
svn st | ack '^M'
I would like to commit these files only
Is this possible through the command line?
