Argo-cd: [docs] Helm user guide incorrectly claims that values files needs to be in the same or subdirectory of chart

[SayakMukhopadhyay]

The note attached to the helm user guide claims the following

Values files must be on the same directory or a subdirectory of the Helm application

I have tried keeping the values.yaml file outside the chart directory and I can still access it using relative path. Here' an example Application that works

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: my-stuff
  namespace: argocd
  finalizers:
    - resources-finalizer.argocd.argoproj.io
spec:
  destination:
    namespace: stuff
    server: https://kubernetes.default.svc
  project: default
  source:
    path: charts/my-stuff
    repoURL: [email protected]:my-repo/my-charts.git
    targetRevision: HEAD
    helm:
      releaseName: my-stuff
      valueFiles:
        - ../../valuesFiles/my-stuff/values.yaml

As you can see that the values.yaml file is in a seperate root directory of the repo and using a relative path works. Maybe the note should be updated with this information.

I can create a PR for the same if its fine.

Thank you @SayakMukhopadhyay / PR is welcome.

I believe we enforce that it should be in the same repo (for security reasons), you're right that it doesn't need to be under same path.
