Fix up Lorry to expect repositories to be bare.
This patch makes Lorry always create bare repositories where it can (Note that
it cannot for CVS imports) and to create tarballs of bare repositories (if not
disabled) which will be more efficient than bundles for creation and cloning.
We may be able to disable bundles later.
