Fix broken file browsing with a submodule that has a relative link

## What does this MR do?

This MR fixes an error that occurs when browsing a submodule with a relative link.

### Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?

I re-wrote the function because I was confused by how the first one was supposed to work. Please review if it's clearer.

### Why was this MR needed?

A 500 Error would occur when using the file browser on a repo with a submodule. Here's how to reproduce the bug:

1. Start a new project in GitLab.
2. Clone git://git.gniibe.org/gnuk/gnuk.git/ locally.
3. Push repo to new project.
4. Click on "Files" in the project.

The .gitmodules file:
```
[submodule "chopstx"]
        path = chopstx
        url = ../../chopstx/chopstx.git
```
