That is pretty much how I have seen this solved in the past.  One thing
while you are playing with this code.  There seems to be an extra
sub-shell in there unnecesarily and the error redirection seems a little
aggressive?

This seems to be semantically equivalent:

get_repo_base() {
	(
		cd "`/bin/pwd`" &&
		cd "$1" &&
		{
			cd .git 2>/dev/null
			pwd
		}
	)
}
