#4711 relative links for 'README's rendered in SCM directory list are broken
Originally created by: jnewsome
Specifically, they are missing the tree prefix.
For example, the first link in this README gets rendered as https://sourceforge.net/u/jnewsome/doctest/ci/97004050fd3f344052cbc92fd7509859e390b33e/subdir instead of https://sourceforge.net/u/jnewsome/doctest/ci/97004050fd3f344052cbc92fd7509859e390b33e/tree/subdir
I considered adding the tree prefix myself in the source markdown as a workaround. However, this would break the link when the same README is viewed directly. When viewed directly, the processor does add the tree prefix, and the same link that doesn't work from the directory view does work here. Therefore, adding the tree prefix in the source markdown would presumably break the link in this view.

Btw, though I linked to a sandbox repository for demonstration purposes, this bug impacts the xmhf project, where we keep our documentation as in-repository markdown files.

Another workaround I considered is to link directly to markdown files instead of to directory listings.
Unfortunately, there is no way to link to the most recent version of a file. This means there would be no way to give people a stable link to the root README.md in the repository.
Using the doctest example again, my options are:
