store content in hashDirLower directories in bare repositories
When storing content in bare repositories, use the hashDirLower
directories. Bare repositories can be on USB drives, which might
use the FAT filesystem, and fall afoul of recent bugs in linux's handling
of mixed case on FAT. Using hashDirLower avoids that.
