Github tags/releases with a / in the prefix

Examples:

https://github.com/apache/logging-log4net/archive/refs/tags/rc/2.0.8-RC1.zip
https://github.com/apache/logging-log4net/tree/rel/2.0.8

Parsing those will result in:

PackageURL(type='github', namespace='apache', name='logging-log4net', version='2.0.8-RC1', qualifiers={}, subpath=None)
>>> url2purl.get_purl("https://github.com/apache/logging-log4net/tree/rel/2.0.8")
PackageURL(type='github', namespace='apache', name='logging-log4net', version='rel', qualifiers={}, subpath='2.0.8')
>>>

For the first URI the version is correct but the prefix gets lost. How can I re-construct a working URI from it? The second URI does not work. The version_prefix is the version and the version is the subpath.

Expected result:

pkg:github/apache/[email protected]?version_prefix=rc%2F
pkg:github/apache/[email protected]?version_prefix=rel%2F

Note: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4net/tree/rel/2.0.8 is really tricky and I think not possible to realize just with regular expressions. It would be necessary to know about the existing refs.
