`link-to-file-in-file-history` breaks when branches contain slashes #2692

@jack1142 working fine for me

@yakov116 I'm able to reproduce it on clean browser (Firefox) with only Refined GitHub installed. I'm talking about this button:

FYI, this is an example invalid link that button redirects to: https://github.com/Cog-Creators/Red-DiscordBot/tree/a9d3e271b0fbbe7b0f418cddd0bfa06e3341b926/develop/docs/install_linux_mac.rst

Linkes to https://github.com/Cog-Creators/Red-DiscordBot/commit/a9d3e271b0fbbe7b0f418cddd0bfa06e3341b926#diff-32cb4e9456317305312fe885c1660614 When I try it. What version are you on? Sorry was clicking the wrong button

@jack1142 ok that button should not be showing unless your looking for at the history of an item. see https://github.com/jack1142/Red-DiscordBot/commits/b73f95b2b12ad1fa43d4a32ecf14a908e52e2606/docs/install_linux_mac.rst

Doing good today. I cant figure out why

@yakov116 hmm, it actually should show on the page I linked in the issue description (as in, it's actually useful to have it there), it just doesn't seem to work properly with any branch that has slashes, I've been able to reproduce this on history page of file on V3/develop and V3/sqlite_driver branches, but not on the history page of file on develop.

Not working example on V3/develop: https://github.com/Cog-Creators/Red-DiscordBot/commits/V3/develop/docs/install_linux_mac.rst

Not working example on V3/sqlite_driver: https://github.com/Cog-Creators/Red-DiscordBot/commits/V3/sqlite_driver/docs/framework_bank.rst

Working example on develop: https://github.com/Cog-Creators/Red-DiscordBot/commits/develop/cogs/customcom.py

@jack1142 in such a case looks like were not taking out the branch name entirely so it does not work! Which means any that... looks like the check is failing https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github/blob/eca2edfb4cc9ab68682aa438ce9bd61258100863/source/features/link-to-file-in-file-history.tsx#L11 It needs to remove the branch name too if it has a slash

See working link https://github.com/Cog-Creators/Red-DiscordBot/blob/3febc948714b3b1ff01745f492af6e2357a7437c/docs/framework_bank.rst

@fregante would document.querySelector(".file-navigation >.breadcrumb").textContent.split('/').splice(1).join('/').trim() be a good idea? I dont see any other way to find out if the current branch has a /

Damn branches with slashes, GitHub should really escape them.

I don’t know if your solution works, but the alternative is to get the branch name from another part of the page like we do in other features.

Or you can also look for other places where the file path is more easily accessible in the DOM. In some feature we use the meta tags in the document head.
