title: GitHub relative link in Markdown file
body: <p>Is there a way to create a URL anchor, <code>&lt;a&gt;</code>, link from within a Markdown file, to another file within the same repository and branch (aka a link relative to the current branch)?</p>
  
  <p>For example, in the master branch I have a README.md file, which I would like do something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code># My Project
  is really really cool. My Project has a subdir named myLib, see below.
  
  ## myLib documentation
  see documentation [here](myLib/README.md)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This would allow me to link from one .md to another within the same branch and not have to worry about which branch I'm in (avoid having to do an absolute URL that includes the github.com branch name).</p>
  
  <p>Here is a working example of what I mean:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>GOTO <a href="http://github.com/rynop/testRel">http://github.com/rynop/testRel</a>, link does not work.</li>
  <li>GOTO <a href="http://github.com/rynop/testRel/blob/master/README.md">http://github.com/rynop/testRel/blob/master/README.md</a>, link works.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>This is expected because at this point the starting URL is in the branch. Now how do I get it to pick up the current branch in the README.md at the root of the repository?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong>: I opened an <a href="https://github.com/github/markup/issues/84">issue</a> against GitHub for this feature request.</p>
