I believe '--ignore-ancestry' is supposed to override this particular check.

The code has changed on 1.8.x_at_HEAD since 1.8.0[1], so 1.8.1 will behave
differently. (It will probably just issue a different error message,
since [1] claims that it didn't change the checks being done.)

Merge r1493424 from trunk:

 * r1493424
   Remove unnecessary check for branches ancestry from
   command line client. All required checks are already performed in
   libsvn_client.
   Justification:
     There is no reason to command line and third-party use different
     codepath for ancestory checks. Simple performance fix.
   Votes:
     +1: ivan, rhuijben, julianfoad
     +0: danielsh (note: svn_client__youngest_common_ancestor can be striken;
                         no callers left)
