--- Comment #3 from David Griffith <bugs at 661.org> ---
Poking around at Gitlab's website, I find that this works to download a tarball
of an arbitrary commit:

https://gitlab.com/${GL_ACCOUNT}/${PORTNAME}/-/archive/${GL_COMMIT}/${PORTNAME}-${GL_COMMIT}.tar.gz

You can substitute ${PORTVERSION} for ${GL_COMMIT} in the above URL and it also
works.  The file size for a downloaded tarball using ${PORTVERSION} differs
from the same tarball (contents anyways) obtained by using ${GL_COMMIT}.

This difference in file sizes is causing me some confusion because the file
deposited in /usr/ports/distfiles has a different filesize from what I get by
using git-archive(1) or what NetBSD downloads for use with pkgsrc.  I'm not
sure how relevant this is, but I was pointed to this bug from
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2020-March/118073.html
