Rugged::Backend completely removed? #39
Description
In the libgit2 docs it talks about using a class called Rugged::Backend to implement custom backends, but in b5ef9dd that was completely removed. Is that coming back anytime soon? Because that is genuinely really cool.

Hey,
unfortunately I had to remove the
Backendclass in the latest release because it was performing terribly. I don't have any plans to bring it back; such a complex Ruby -> C bridge is very hard to get right. I strongly encourage you to write the custom backend code in pure C, using the Ruby C API. It's significantly more efficient, and easier to implement.Cheers!
