Add explicit bareRepository configuration when pushing bare mirror

If a user has configured `bareRepository=explicit` in their configuration, the push operation in this example will fail with the message: fatal: cannot use bare repository '<path>.git' (safe.bareRepository is 'explicit') By adding `-c "safe.bareRepository=all"` to the default instruction set, this should prevent issues for users who have bareRepository configured.
