Thanks for the local-style change.

I'm not sure I like the new wording, though. (In fact, I specifically avoid
it myself.) There are other things which could prevent the operation from
running, so I don't like the implication that this option is a magic potion
which overcomes all such barriers. I'd rather be specific -- if you pass
--ignore-ancestry, the ancestry won't be considered when deciding if this is
a valid request.
