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:

From an earlier post on this list: In order to lower maintenance of their own infrastructure, a hosted solution has been chosen, and an open source license was granted to the teams. You can see the current progress at: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org 2 subgroups have been made: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus-ide

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.
