Ah, good point. The current_app shouldn't be used here - it should use base_url. Fixed.

Yes, gitlab provides raw links (similar to dist-git) - tested on the README file in the side-tags repo.

OK, so there was a code in app_factory.py that replaced the {DIST_GIT_BASE_URL} - I've just removed it.

After a chat with @vmaljulin, he will do some changes now, and let's remove git-archive completely later.
