Can you spot the tag name in the below?
The rest of the url will change once it is no longer a "test conversion"

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus_test_conversion_2/-/archive/lazarus_2_0_12/lazarus_test_conversion_2-lazarus_2_0_12.tar.gz
Also avail as zip.

No guarantees, but I expect that to keep working.
Of course you need to know the tag names.

There are 2 pages helping with using git.
Choose either one and stick with it. (if you try to use both, it will 
get confusing)
By the FPC team:  https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/FPC_git
By me:  https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/SVN_to_GIT_Cheatsheet

I recommend on the long run to switch to git.
