Until now, the `gitlab`-fetcher determined the source's rev by checking the latest commit of the given `ref` using the `/repository/branches`-API. This breaks however when trying to fetch a gitlab-repo by its tag: ``` $ nix repl nix-repl> builtins.fetchTree gitlab:Ma27/nvim.nix/0.2.0 error: --- Error ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nix unable to download 'https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/Ma27%2Fnvim.nix/repository/branches/0.2.0': HTTP error 404 ('') ``` When using the `/commits?ref_name`-endpoint[1] you can pass any kind of valid ref to the `gitlab`-fetcher. Please note that this fetches the only first 20 commits on a ref, unfortunately there's currently no endpoint which only retrieves the latest commit of any kind of `ref`.
