[Lazarus] Where do I get the Lazarus sources on the release tag?

I have a script to install Lazarus and FPC on Linux which exports the sources
from the subversion repositories on the release tags.
I use this when installing FPC/Lazarus on Raspberry Pi and other Linux devices.
But that does not work anymore because of the move to gitlab:

Unfortunately I failed to find the release tags on these URL:s, so I could check
out (or rather export) the sources for Lazarus and Fpc.
The closest I have come for Lazarus is here:
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/tags
But if I try something like
svn export https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/tags/main-2_3 2.3
it fails with an error:
E160013: '/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/tags/main-2_3' path not found
I have read this too, to no avail:
https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Getting_Lazarus#Getting_Lazarus_from_the_GitLab_server
I want to retrieve the sources of a specific release tagged version, not some
bleeding edge fixes work in progress version.
Can someone please tell me where the *release tagged* versions are hidden?
Surely there must be a git URL one can use with svn to get a specific tagged
source release?
And I do not want to clone the complete Lazarus repository...
I have not used GIT ever, but Subversion for many years.
