On git://github.com/qt/qtbase.git for example, these branches are 
missing too.  I can only see 5.12, 5.12.5 and 5.12.7 there (of all the 
5.12* branches that were present), same as on code.qt.io,  so these 
deletions looked more like an accident than intentional (as they are not 
/all/ gone), hence my email.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

The reason this became a problem for me was that meta-qt5's warrior 
branch uses these Qt branches (5.12.12 in my case), and these builds now 
fail.

So I'll need to now fork and maintain my own version of meta-qt5, 
modified to use the tags instead for each of the qt repos.  I have no 
choice but to use this version of Qt for this particular project.  I'm 
now wondering what other project will be affected.

But if that's the way it is, so be it.
