How about raising a specific exception that is rescued by #require instead?

class AbortRequire < StandardError; end

alias :original_require :require

def require f
  original_require f
rescue AbortRequire
  false
end

def 

p require 'f' # => false

# f.rb:

raise AbortRequire if defined? GitoriousConfig
