rendering of relative URLs in README.md for directory listing page is wrong #82
Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. do a web search for "chromium gn"
2. the top link is to https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/tools/gn/
(this is perhaps less than ideal,
but a separate issue).
3. that directory listing lists the change log for that dir, then
//tools/gn/README.md
4. attempt to click on the links at the bottom of the readme, e.g. "Quick
Start"
(https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/tools/gn/docs/quick_start.md)
5. get a 404 back
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
ideally the link would resolve to the version on master.
Failing that, the relative URL could also be rewritten to
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/tools/gn/docs/quick_star
t.md instead.
Failing that, it might be better to just rewrite README.md to point to the full
URL, but I'd be sad to do that since it would hard-code the branch.
