Do not load rails without loading bundler

[grosser]

This if File.exist seems like a bad idea / let's people run into weird issues when the Gemfile is missing (deploy messed up / deleted by accident / BUNDLE_GEMFILE pointed to invalid file etc).
Users that do not want bundler can just remove the require.

Could you explain more about the problem? I think that if we don't require bundler/setup Rails will fail to boot when we call Bundler.require on the application.rb. Is this not what is happening?

with default application.rb
config/application.rb:7:in `<top (required)>': uninitialized constant
Bundler (NameError)

without Bundler.require
/opt/boxen/rbenv/versions/2.1.1/lib/ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:126:in
`require': cannot load such file -- some_git_dependency (LoadError)

without Bundler.require and no git-dependencies:
boots up with incorrect versions of gems and randomly fails on something

I see. If you removed the Bundler.require from application.rb you can easily remove the if File.exist? but since our default application.rb use bundler and will not work if that require is not made is better to remove that if indeed.
