Description

The bin/hermit.hcl sources variable is not supporting repo tags. Example: sources = ["https://gitlab.com/onis-oss/hermit-packages.git#onis-oss"]

Results in this error: fatal:hermit: /home/rolandknight/git/gitlab.com/onis-oss/tlc/sandbox/bin/hermit.hcl: unsupported source "https://gitlab.com/onis-oss/hermit-packages.git#onis-oss"

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the source URL parsing logic in the hermit codebase, specifically how the 'sources' field in bin/hermit.hcl is processed. Identify where fragment identifiers (e.g., '#onis oss') are checked or rejected, and add support for tags.
