README symlinks and redirect loop
Notes:
- New way of dealing with symlinks !1499 (merged)
- Backwards compatible (attempt) !1567 (merged)
- We use the same underlying Docker image https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-docs/-/blob/main/dockerfiles/Dockerfile.builder.onbuild, so the change had to be backwards compatible, this is why I added https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-docs/-/blob/e760708542575c2040d32b81b92422bf44a85733/scripts/normalize-links.sh#L84-96
It seems the command to symlink all readmes is run even in cases it shouldn't be https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-docs/-/jobs/1287130014#L3879.
Solution
Found in #1035 (comment 601537229). The builder-onbuild
Docker image hadn't been updated.
