-	// Temporary workaround for the bug fix and resulting

-	// a leading '/' was inadvertently added to relative links,
-	// but no longer, see #878.

-	// I think the real solution is to allow Hugo to
-	// make relative URL with relative path,
-	// e.g. "../../post/hello-again/", as wished by users
-	// in issues #157, #622, etc., without forcing
-	// relative URLs to begin with '/'.
-	// Once the fixes are in, let's remove this kludge
-	// and restore SanitizeURL() to the way it was.
