linking to github is promotional content wow
Can you try re-linking the repository to solve it for the old site? You can unlink and then link it again
It would be preferable if new contributors are able to contribute without causing old site to make a change ideally.
What do you have against making it configurable?
Or even just have a "migrate to new behavior" button which create pull request and/or update UI settings to new relative dir behavior.
