You can fetch repo metadata (repositories and revisions) for Android build numbers via ci.android.com. For example, `adb --version` with platform-tools 30.0.2 reports the following:
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41
Version 30.0.2-6538114
6538114 is the build number.

So, you can retrieve this via /builds/submitted/6538114/sdk/latest/view/repo.prop. Thanks to for letting me know. The platform-tools release notes and tags for the 30.0.1 and 30.0.2 releases should be published soon but it's really useful to know how to do this anyway.

The full URL for that example: ci.android.com/builds/submitt. You can do this with anything that has a build number. This is very useful because sometimes tags are delayed, and not everything has a tagging system. Until today, I didn't realize I could still fetch repository revisions.

So for example, platform-tools originally didn't have a tagging system until I brought it up. The tags are still useful despite being able to fetch the metadata like this, especially since they provide a proper archive. OS builds always have tags, but not everything else does.
