AI Summary: The task is to improve the GitPython tutorial by adding a warning or section about potential issues when using the `GitDB` object database, especially with very large repositories. The warning should highlight the risk of `BufferError` exceptions due to resource limitations, and suggest alternative approaches for handling large repositories or long-running processes. This might involve recommending using the default object database or exploring strategies for better memory management.

AI Summary: The task is to fix a bug in GitPython where it fails to read tags from the `packed-refs` file if they are not UTF-8 encoded. This involves modifying the `git/refs/symbolic.py` file to handle different encodings, potentially by detecting the encoding automatically or allowing the user to specify it. Testing will be required to ensure the fix works correctly and doesn't introduce new issues.
