Relative link is not relative to current path, but relative to root of project

Created by: Rufflewind

Consider a repository with this structure:

/
  /somedir
    /somedir/file1.md
    /somedir/file2.md
  /.gitignore
  /README.md

If the Markdown document file1.md contains a relative link like this:

[some link](file2.md)

It doesn't work on GitLab because the link will refer to /file1.md in the root directory (which doesn't exist).

This behavior differs from that of GitHub and BitBucket, both of which will (correctly) resolve to /somedir/file1.md.
