link to changed file has commit sha instead of branch name in its URL

See original GitHub issue

for example in this issue: https://github.com/gr2m/initials/issues/32

the link behind README.md in step 3 linked to https://github.com/gr2m/initials/blob/d5bccfe96675007a562360bb2e2c48c4a50d7f92/README.md which doesn’t work, because in order for the edit button to work, the link must use a branch name instead. The correct link is https://github.com/gr2m/initials/blob/master/README.md
