Adds a warning in the tutorial's Object Database section (doc/source/tutorial.rst, line 515) about GitDB failing or running extremely slowly when traversing trees in repositories with very large commits. Directs users to use GitCmdObjectDB instead. Closes #2065. This contribution was developed with AI assistance (Claude Code).
