Raw download link 404 for at least on repo.

Body

I'm having an issue with the RAW download feature of Github.

https://github.com/strimzi/strimzi-kafka-operator/blob/0.47.0/examples/kafka/README.md works
clicking the RAW button gives the following URL
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/strimzi/strimzi-kafka-operator/refs/tags/0.47.0/examples/kafka/README.md
which currently gives a 404.

I asked a colleague (another remote worker elsewhere geographically).
I spot tested another couple of repos.

Caches out of date somewhere perhaps?

Same problem as commented here

Something is indeed very broken right now in my side of the world — and this appears to have started at 2025-08-08 04:27 UTC:

• URLs which used to be the raw URLs for tagged GitHub raw artifacts are returning stale information:
  • For example, https://github.com/apollographql/rover/blob/v0.35.0/installers/binstall/scripts/nix/install.sh used to use https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apollographql/rover/v0.35.0/installers/binstall/scripts/nix/install.sh (see the tags and paths are the same), but the content in this raw URL is returning content from a different tag v0.14.1.
• The raw links on GitHub today are going to 404 links fr example, using the same blob link above: https://github.com/apollographql/rover/blob/v0.35.0/installers/binstall/scripts/nix/install.sh, and if you click the button it wants to take you to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apollographql/rover/refs/tags/v0.35.0/installers/binstall/scripts/nix/install.sh, which is indeed a 404 as of this writing.

For those who end up here, looks like GH is aware of this, but no status page: aquaproj/aqua#4068 (comment)

In my case it seems that is working now.

The URL I reported issues with earlier now seems to be working again.
