+<!-- N.B. LFS 9.0 uses
+     https://github.com/vim/vim/archive/v8.1.1846/vim-8.1.1846.tar.gz
+     and it still works after years, the md5sum of the resulted tarball
+     is unchanged as well.  Thus GitHub download seems stable enough for
+     vim and there's no need to use anduin.
+
+     BTW if we click the "Next" button enough times on
+     https://github.com/vim/vim/tags, we can eventually see the old
+     release.  The "Next" button just sets "after=" in the URL.  For
+     example, https://github.com/vim/vim/tags?after=v8.1.1847 will show
+     us v8.1.1846. -->
