I recovered it from https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory... and pushed a fresh copy to GitHub here:

https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-s3vfs

This comment was helpful in figuring out how to get a full Git clone out of the heritage archive: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37516523#37517378

Here's a TIL I wrote up of the process: https://til.simonwillison.net/github/software-archive-recove...

I also have a locally cloned copy of that repo from when it was on GitHub. Same latest commit as your copy of it.

From what I see in GitHub in your copy of the repo, it looks like you don’t have the tags.

Do you have the tags locally?

If you don’t have the tags, I can push a copy of the repo to GitHub too and you can get the tags from my copy.
