Specifically, you are using a format that has the "supports subtrees"
flag set. Looking at the repository, it doesn't seem like you are
actually making use of that fact, though.

If you just want to get converted, you can apply this patch, do the
upgrade, and then revert the patch.
(I know launchpad will mess up the indentation, but the patch is pretty
trivial.)

At the moment, there is no upgrade path from '--dirstate-with-subtrees'
because it was mainly an experimental feature (it certainly was never a
default format.) We had hoped that 'subtree' support would be sufficient
to enable it in --2a formats, but we did not get there.

Note that if you do this, *you* have to be careful to check that you
aren't actually using tree references. (Most likely you aren't, since
they don't really work yet.)
