Description

It function in RSB that checks if a local git repository is valid can return True if a valid git repository is not present but can be found further up the directory hierarchy. This can cause RSB to alter an unrelated git repository somewhere else. The patch attached here fixes this problem. I searched half a day why RSB changed an unrelated repo and this prevents happening this to anybody else...

The patch should use path.join() and not directly call os.path.join().
