[RFC PATCH 05/13] b4: normalise git-reported absolute paths with os.path.normpath

[Adrian Neftali Sanchez <lutgaru@gmail.com>]

git rev-parse --git-common-dir emits forward-slash paths on Windows even
though the OS uses backslashes.  Pass the result through
os.path.normpath so all callers receive a path in the native format on
every platform.
