Relative urls in readme.md files only work half the time. (BB-7521)

    Description

      I have the following project structure:

      doc/
          getting_started.md
          ...
      readme.md
      

      In my readme.md file, I link to the getting_started.md document like so:

      [Get started](doc/getting_started.md)
      

      When viewing the readme.md file in the source tab this link 404's (it points to ../project/doc/contributing.md)

      But when I click on the readme.md file and view it, the link works (correctly points to ../project/src/31...8e/doc/contributing.md)

      There is a (possibly?) subtly different problem for relative links in sub-folders. Given the project structure of:

      doc/
          style/
              markdown.md
          readme.md
      top_level_readme.md
      

      In the readme.md file, if I have a link to style/markdown.md as follows:

      [Markdown Style Guide](style/markdown.md)
      

      It will break in a similar manner to the above (50% of the time), but with the following urls:

      Overview page links to: ../project/src/31...8e/style/markdown.md

      While viewing readme.md links to: ../project/src/31...8e/doc/style/markdown.md
