Download links for HEAD?

My cgitrc file already has a line

snapshots=tar.gz zip

and in fact, download links are available at the project page:
https://git.meinbergglobal.com/example-code/gpsxmple.git/

However, download links are ONLY available for versions that have a tag
assigned. My question was if it was possible to have a download link
e.g. for the current HEAD revision, even if NO tag has been assigned.
