:Description:
  This command will produce a target tree in a format that supports
  rich roots, like 'rich-root' or 'rich-root-pack'.  These formats cannot be
  converted into earlier formats like 'dirstate-tags'.
  
  The TREE argument should be a subdirectory of a working tree.  That
  subdirectory will be converted into an independent tree, with its own
  branch.  Commits in the top-level tree will not apply to the new subtree.
